lyrics

LITTLE BLACK HEART

Jezebel is my waitress. She brings me what I need.
Steps on my toes while I pardon her reach. I just smile and bleed.
But she’s got a boyfriend out there somewhere who treats her like a child.
I’d try my luck but my little black heart’s still wild.

Friends say I need some kind of life. Maybe a ring to make me whole.
A picket fencepost driven through my chest, my heart, my soul.
Just picture me, staying constant. In one place for awhile.
I wasn’t made that way. My little black heart’s still wild.

I wonder where you are right now.
Maybe back in New Orleans.
How long have I been missing you?
My whole damn life it seems.

If I could somehow take us back in time, to the day that I met you.
I’d apologize for all the things I was about to put you through.
Especially how I said goodbye. God, I think I even smiled.
But it was no good then and it’s no good now...my little black heart’s still wild.

I wonder where you are right now.
Maybe back in New Orleans.
How long have I been missing you?
My whole damn life it seems.

Someday I might just settle down. Leave this late-night life behind.
But not right now, my little black heart’s still wild.
Not right now, my little black heart’s still wild.
