• Black on blue; red on white
    This is how I am doing tonight.
    I'm a racontuer, you're out of sight
    I just want to know you know this is right.

    I fought hard and I fought long
    To bring you a message and a simple song
    Turns out, the message and song are one in the same
    I want you to know I'm one special dame.

    Black on blue; red on white
    This is how I feel tonight.
    Black on blue; red on white
    It's the simple rhyme I'm gonna recite.
    Black on blue; red on white
    To tell you that I'm feeling contrite.

    I can't trust anybody a great deal
    Until I wait for a couple wounds to heal
    One in my brain and the one in your lip
    I can feel the record starting to skip.

    Black on blue; red on white
    These are the things that I thought were right.
    Black on blue; red on white
    Today is the day I'm feeling alright.
