Lemmy told Rolling Stone,
I wrote it to get back at my black girlfriend. Ron Jeremy introduced us, and that’s cool. We’ve been on and off for 20 years. We’re still trying to keep it going. She doesn’t tour with us; I don’t allow that. I didn’t tell her it was about her when I wrote it. She still do...
[Verse 1]
Listen honey, let me see you smile
Don't be look at me funny
You got a better style
See me coming
Don't look the other way
Don't start running
You stole my heart away
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Don't give me that runaround
You know I treat you fine
You don't understand the way I feel
Got my heart rolling like a wheel
[Chorus]
I'm in the black, I'm in
I'm in the black, I'm in
I'm in the black again
Can't go back, can't go
Can't go back, can't go
Can't be who I was back then
It's only me, only me
It's only me, only me
It's only me outside your door
Let me be, let me
Let me be, let me
I'm the one you're waiting for
[Verse 2]
Here me talking
You hear what I say
I see you walking
Every time it makes my day
Got a notion
I might stay a while
If you fall in the ocean
I'll swim a hundred miles
[Pre-Chorus 2]
Coming over to ask you out
Honey, please say yes
I don't like it when you stomp and pout
I don't like it when you run your mouth
[Chorus]
I'm in the black, I'm in
I'm in the black, I'm in
I'm in the black again
Can't go back, can't go
Can't go back, can't go
Can't be who I was back then
It's only me, only me
It's only me, only me
It's only me outside your door
Let me be, let me
Let me be, let me
I'm the one you're waiting for
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
You're a vision
Make me shout out loud
I made my decision
Goodbye to the old crowd
Send you a message
I've gotta chance my arm
Scramble through the wreckage
To keep you safe from harm
[Pre-Chorus]
I'm gonna be right around your house
I hope you're good to go
If you're not, it's gonna hit me hard
I'm gonna fold up
Like a house of cards
[Chorus]
I'm in the black, I'm in
I'm in the black, I'm in
I'm in the black again
Can't go back, can't go
Can't go back, can't go
Can't be who I was back then
It's only me, only me
It's only me, only me
It's only me outside your door
Let me be, let me
Let me be, let me
I'm the one you're waiting for
