You don't know what you're doing You look like a student with a pencil in your ponytail Excuse me for staring At the light iradescent color of your fingernails Well, I think the situation's wrong But you totally turn me on It's unusually hard for me To just let you be Lady in the black dress You shouldn't sit so close to me 'Cause I could take advantage Of a soul so vulnerable, soft and sweet We could dive right in, into the deep But when we come up you might feel empty And the lady in the black dress You'll never sit so close to me I don't know what I'm doing, this lust is confusing How do I explain myself? Such a beautiful sadness behind her own lashes Those eyes are crying out for help And I think the situation's wrong But you totally turn me on It's unusually hard for me To just let you be Lady in the black dress You shouldn't sit so close to me 'Cause I could take advantage Of a soul so vulnerable, soft and sweet We could dive right in, into the deep But when we come up you might feel empty And the lady in the black dress You'll never sit so close to me again This morning's laid to rest The casket has been sealed and blessed, the day is gone His widow noticed me looking at you She said don't you let love leave and get away So let's seize the day Lady in the black dress You shouldn't sit so close to me 'Cause I could take advantage Of a soul so vulnerable, soft and sweet We could dive right in, into the deep But when we come up you might feel empty And the lady in the black dress You'll never sit so close to me again Lady in the black dress You shouldn't sit so close to me 'Cause I could take advantage Of a soul so soft and sweet
