CHER - Dark Lady lyrics

rate me

The fortune queen of new orleans<br>Was brushing her cat in her black limousine<br>On the back seat were scratches<br>From the marks of men her fortune she had won<br>Couldn't see through the tinted glass<br>She said, home james and he hit the gas<br>I followed her to some darkened room<br>She took my money, she said, I'll be with you soon<br><br>Chorus:<br>Dark lady laughed and danced<br>And lit the candles one by one<br>Danced to her gypsy music<br>Till her brew was done<br>Dark lady played black magic<br>Till the clock struck on the twelve<br>She told me more about me<br>Than I knew myself<br><br>She dealt two cards, a queen and a three<br>And mumbled some words<br>That were so strange to me<br>Then she turned up a two-eyed jack<br>My eyes saw red but the card<br>Still stayed black<br>She said the man you love is secretly true<br>To someone else who is very close to you<br>My advice is that you leave this place<br>Never come back and forget you ever saw my face<br><br>Chorus<br><br>So I ran home and crawled in my bed<br>I couldn't sleep because of all the things she said<br>Then I remembered her strange perfume<br>And how I smelled it once in my own room<br>So I sneaked back and caught her with my man<br>Laughing and kissing till they saw the gun in my hand<br>The next thing I knew they were dead on the floor<br>Dark lady would never turn a card up anymore<br><br>Chorus
