Black Leather

Well, he's all geared up
Walkin' down the street
I can see the slime
Drippin' down his sleeve
Well, you can't refuse
And you just can't choose what he's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse
And you just can't choose what he's gonna do
Well, it's late at night
And I'm all alone
I can hear the boots
Gettin' near her home
Well, you can't refuse
And you just can't choose what he's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse
And you just can't choose what he's gonna do
Scratch, scratch, he's clawing at the door
Oh, no, I can't take it anymore
Crack, crack I'm feeling so sore
I never should have asked for black leather!
Black leather!
Black leather!
Black leather!
You can try to hide
You know you won't get far
You let him in
And you'll start again
Well, you can't refuse
And you just can't choose what he's gonna do
Well, you can't refuse
And you just can't choose what he's gonna do
Scratch, scratch, she's clawing at the door
Oh, no, I can't take it anymore
Crack, crack I'm feeling so sore
I never should asked for black leather!
Black leather!
Black leather!
Black leather!
