Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Her eyes were burning, the flame was so bright
The heat of her touch just felt so right
Mystery woman come and love me tonight
Where is my woman, my woman in black
Somebody find her, she's got to come back
Don't really know her, but she's sure got the knack
She opened my window like a thief in the night
The moon lit her body, an unbelievable sight
She took me and shook me until it was light
Love me and left me, one helluva night
Where is my woman, my woman in black
Somebody find her, she's got to come back
Don't really know her, but she's sure got the knack
I need that woman, the woman in black
Was she real or maybe she's make believe
The way that she loved me was no strange fantasy
Ain't no way I can live without her love again
Craving her love is gonna drive me insane
Where is my woman, my woman in black
Where is that woman, she needs to come back
Somebody find her, my woman in black
I need that woman, the woman in black
