Black cat, don't you look back at me
Good luck, don't hang around me
I been down so long I can't see
Need something that's gonna set me free

chorus:

I need some good love
I need some good, good love

New love, just passes me by
So bad, I don't even try
Shot down and I ask myself why
Needin' someone who's gonna save my hide

chorus:

Lord I need some good love
I need some good, good love

(lead)

(repeat chorus)

Black cat, don't you look back at me
New love, don't wander 'round me
Well I try but I just ain't no use
I need someone who's gonna turn me loose

(chorus)
