is someone who can take me as I am
Someone strong enough to be gentle
Someone warm enough to be a friend
Her dress was black as the night was hot,
her eyes so green they could kill you
And the hotel room felt all that
She asked him for a cigarette,
he asked her for her name
She said, call me anything you want,
makes no difference anyway.
Her anger flared like lightning fire,
her brown skin young but aging fast.
And the old man clung to her distance,
tried to drink from an empty glass.
Tell them, but I never tell them if they do
She sat frozen in the night
She turned out the lights
She said, you know what I'm after,
I don't want to hurt no one
His mighty fell to the heart of the floor,
the old man cursed in his silence
And the moon shone down so softly
while she fumbled for the gun
Then the old man put his clothes
though he didn't know before
Her dress was black, so now her top,
her eyes were green, they could kill you
does anyone break through to you
Tell them but I never tell
Outside a siren screamed,
The old man sat frozen in the night
Tell me, does anyone break
Tell them but I never tell
The old man sat frozen in the night
