Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Time, 2:15 in the AM
Place, Ronaldo's Boom-Boom Room on South Street
I'm a hot blonde and it was a cold night
This is my story, I ain't ashamed to tell it
I was hungry, tired, and lookin' for love
[Verse 2]
I was just a pilgrim in the hot pursuit of love
Wandered from disco to disco, that's all my life was
Suddenly you danced up against me, it felt warm and smooth
I knew in an instant you were my moment of darkest truth
[Verse 3]
Oh, my knight in black leather
Hold me tight and love me forever
Rings on your fingers, love in your heart
(I'm your) Knight in black leather, we'll never part
[Verse 4]
Only you can shine the light on the dark side of my mind
And your evil sweetness leaves a trail of lovers behind
When you crush me to your heart, I feel just like a queen
I'm a willing victim, tell me, all my life, where have you been?
[Verse 5]
Oh, my knight (Yeah) In black leather
(Why don't you) Hold me tight and love me forever?
Rings on your fingers, love in your heart
(I'm your) knight in black leather, we'll never part
[Verse 6]
Oh, my knight (Yeah) In black leather
Take me down and love me forever
Walk on through the halls of my soul
(I'm your) Knight in black leather, and you've got control
Oh, don't ya know, baby?
[Verse 7]
Oh, my knight (Oh, my knight) In black leather
Take me down (Come on) And love me forever
Rings on your fingers, love on demand
(I'm your) Knight in black leather, oh, you've got command
And how I love ya, baby
[Verse 8]
Oh, my knight (Oh, my knight) In black leather
Hold me tight (Sweet, sweet love) And love me forever
Rings on your fingers, (You know that I love you) Love in your heart
I love you, love you, we'll never part
[Verse 9]
We're the knights in black leather
We'll take you down and love you forever
Walk on through the halls of your soul
(Yeah) The knights in black leather, we're in contro
[Verse 10]
You know he smells just like a brand new car
'Cause everything he owns is leather
A leather shirt, leather hat
Leather gloves, leather spats
Leather chaps, leather pants
Leather socks, leather cap
Leather coat, leather wrap
Leather neck, leather ring
Leather thing
[Verse 11]
Oh, my knight in black leather
We'll never part
Oh, my knight (Yeah) In black leather
Hold me tight and love me forever
(Love in your heart) You've got to hold me, hold me
We'll never part
