Othello

[Verse 1]
How can you say that you love me
When you never look me in the face?
How can you say that you need me
When you've been messin' 'round all over the place?
I went downtown yesterday
And I was walkin' in the marketplace
All the women, they laughed at me
They whispered that I was a disgrace

[Verse 2]
You've been out all night drinkin' again
You never even bother to call
Been crossin' blades with God knows who
You're headed for your rise and fall
Sooner or later I'll wake up
And rub the sleep out of my eyes
Later that day when you wake up
You'll be in for a big surprise

[Chorus]
Oh, black one white to black
Black one white to black
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Black one white to black
Black one white to black
Black one white to black!
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Black one white to black
Black one white to black

[Verse 3]
You talk about yourself all night
When really, you are such a bore
You give me flowers to my face
Behind my back you call me a whore
I've had enough of your God knows what
I think it's time for you to leave
I've forgiven you too many times before
This time you get no reprieve

[Verse 4]
The bed's too big without you
But I suppose it'll have to do
Better to lay in an empty bed
Than to spend another night beside you
People talkin' all over town
About the way you've been puttin' me down
People talkin' all over town
They don't wanna see you around

[Chorus]
Oh, black one white to black
Black one white to black
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Black one white to black
Black one white to black
Black one white to black!
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Black one white to black
Black one white to black

[Interlude]

[Chorus]
Oh, black one white to black
Black one white to black
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Black one white to black
Black one white to black
Black one white to black!
(Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh)
Black one white to black
Black one white
