Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I can't explain
Exactly what I'm doin' standin' in the rain
Don't do it for fun
Do it if you feel it, kiss it on the tongue
[Verse 2]
I'm takin' my thoughts to a railway station
Put 'em on a train just to see what's comin' back
What's comin' back?
It's comin' like a heart attack
[Verse 3]
Ice melts too fast
So nothin' stays forever, nothin's gonna last
She's dressed in black
A black that ends nowhere, and I just gotta have her back
[Verse 4]
And I'm television sick, and I'm television crazy
No one works so hard just to make me feel so bad
I'm feelin' bad
Oh, that's too sad
[Verse 5]
(A-hey, hey, hey) Ah, she's the meanest mean
(A-hey, hey, hey) Ah, she's the blackest black
(A-hey, hey, hey) Ah, she's the meanest mean
(A-hey, hey, hey) Ah, she's the blackest black
[Verse 6]
(A-hey, hey, hey) I gotta get her back
(A-hey, hey, hey) I gotta get her back
(A-hey, hey, hey) I gotta get her back
[Verse 7]
(A-hey, hey, hey) She's the meanest mean
(A-hey, hey, hey) She's the sickest sick
(A-hey, hey, hey) She's the coolest cool
(A-hey, hey, hey) She's the blackest black
[Verse 8]
(A-hey, hey, hey) I gotta get her back
(A-hey, hey, hey) I gotta get her back
(A-hey, hey, hey)
