Black Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I gave you them before you had the first.
I gave you kisses, I stroked your fur,
I love a woman now that you've had the first.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
Get out of my face.
You took the houses, you took the furs.
You took my kisses, and those of fur,
Now I love a woman and it's the first.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
Get out of my face.
Get out of my face.
Get out of my face, out of my face.
(solo)
You know you have me to keep at will
Whatever whets you fancy, whatever you will.
Took what you want, took what you will.
Take my schonker baby and drink your fill
It's not you, I won't give you all.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
It's not you, I won't give you all.
Get out of my face.
Get out of my face.
Get out of my face, out of my face.
