Black is the color of your dark, dark soul,
And yours is as black as a deep dark hole.
Who taught you, baby, to be so cruel?
And why's the world got to pay for what's done to you?
So long, I'm leaving you, baby,
So long, you've been bleeding me, baby, so long.
You take the bottle and you drink it down,
You get all liquored up just to kick me around.
You'll soon miss your whisky when your still runs dry,
You can't give me the boot cause I'm saying goodbye.
So long, I'm leaving you, baby,
So long, you've been bleeding me, baby, so long.
What scares me to death is I look in your eyes,
There's no sparkle left, baby, you must be just stone dead inside.
I'm gonna run out of breath when I list all your lies,
Too much darkness here, baby, I gotta get out here alive.
So long, I'm leaving you, baby,
So long, you've been bleeding me, baby, so long.
Black is the color of your dark, dark soul,
You better get on your knees and crawl out of that hole.
You better pick up what's left of your life off the floor,
For your better half, baby, is walking out the door.
So long, I'm leaving you, baby,
So long, you've been bleeding me, baby,
So long, so I'm leaving you, baby,
So long, you've been bleeding me baby, so long.
And yours is as black as a deep dark hole.
Who taught you, baby, to be so cruel?
And why's the world got to pay for what's done to you?
So long, I'm leaving you, baby,
So long, you've been bleeding me, baby, so long.
You take the bottle and you drink it down,
You get all liquored up just to kick me around.
You'll soon miss your whisky when your still runs dry,
You can't give me the boot cause I'm saying goodbye.
So long, I'm leaving you, baby,
So long, you've been bleeding me, baby, so long.
What scares me to death is I look in your eyes,
There's no sparkle left, baby, you must be just stone dead inside.
I'm gonna run out of breath when I list all your lies,
Too much darkness here, baby, I gotta get out here alive.
So long, I'm leaving you, baby,
So long, you've been bleeding me, baby, so long.
Black is the color of your dark, dark soul,
You better get on your knees and crawl out of that hole.
You better pick up what's left of your life off the floor,
For your better half, baby, is walking out the door.
So long, I'm leaving you, baby,
So long, you've been bleeding me, baby,
So long, so I'm leaving you, baby,
So long, you've been bleeding me baby, so long.
