Andrew Lloyd Webber - Black-Hearted Woman lyrics

(The El Rio Café in Notting Hill, a murky basement with a largely black clientele. WARD and CHRISTINE appear and rather tentatively sit at a corner table. WARD looks around, fascinated. There's a small band playing at the back of the room; and the singer, a small, bald man with a neat goatee, ALOYSIUS "LUCKY" GORDON, thirty-one, launches into his number.) {LUCKY} She is a black-hearted woman Don't be fooled Her smile is smooth as peanut bu*ter She's just a black-hearted woman If I don't leave I'm gonna end up in some gutter She stеals my cash while I'm sleepin' And it's me who does thе washin' and the sweepin' She is a black-hearted woman Come a long way From those dark and dirty ghettos Just a black-hearted woman She's the devil In a pair of black stilettos In time, my sad heart will shatter But when we make love, it doesn't seem to matter She is a black-hearted woman She will drink my last drop Of Jamaica rum She's just a black-hearted woman She would toss my car keys in the river for fun In time, my sad heart will shatter But when we make love, it doesn't seem to matter
