I bought you overcoats
I bought you underwear
I bought everything between
But as I was dressing you up
You were dressing me down
And told me what you thought of me
(I told you what I thought of you)
Is that exactly what you mean?
(that's exactly what I mean)
Baby, how will I know
When your love is ready to go?
It's time to show your hand
Black hearts together we'll stand.
My mother always told me
To follow my heart
And that's exactly what I did
But as I tracked you down
You tripped me up
And pushed me into a ditch
(I pushed you into that ditch)
Oh what a minor glitch
(That's exactly what I did)
Oh baby, it's about time
Take my hand and tell me you're mine
I'm sure that you'll be inclined
Black hearts let's leave them behind
