Woman In Black (5.1 Mix) Lyrics
Foreigner
Lyrics
I knew the moment
I walked through that door
I felt so close to a burning sensation
It got so warm
As i moved across the floor
My body aching with anticipation
I saw a dark silhouette, at the table
I tried to talk but i was unable
She drew me in right under her spell
I was hypnotized by the sudden temptation
Of that woman in black
She's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
Woman in black she's got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free
She is a woman
She's not a girl anymore
The kind that stirs up a young man's imagination
She's dressed to kill
And i'm so ready to fall
Into her world full of strange fascination
I see that dark silhouette, at the table
I can't resist, my body's not able
She draws me in
But, she teaches me well
I never need any explanation
From that woman in block
She's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
Woman in block got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free
Ooh woman in black
It's too late now
I can't turn back
'cause i'm a fool for that woman
Woman in block
Ooh, ooh woman in black
Woman in black
Ooh, that woman in block
She's a mystery
She's everything a woman should be
Woman in black
She's got a hold on me
She's in control, she won't set me free
She's my mysterious mistress
But she leaves me so helpless
My woman in black
She's a dark senorita
My woman in block
No sunday school teacher
We're keeping it a secret
We meet in the night
We're partners in silence
Strangers in daylight
