Black suede, don't mean you're good for me 

Black suede, just brings your mystery 

I want to be inside of you 

But you're black and I don't know what to do 



You're a smooth dancer 

But it's alright 

'Cause I'm a freelancer 

And you can never break me though you try 



To make me think you're magical 

Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun 

Because it don't shine nightly 

Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free 



You'd better hang on tightly 

You want to rule the world, 

But you're acting like a girl 

Who's got a false pregnancy 

You've swollen up inside 

With nothing but your pride 



And yet you keep on dancing 

Black suede, don't waste your time on me 

Black suede, I sense your mockery 

I tried to go along with you 



But you're black and I know just what to do 

You're a smooth dancer 

But it's alright 

'Cause I'm a freelancer 



And you can never break me though you try 

To make me think you're magical 

I think you're crazy, your two-timing ways 

They don't bother me none 



You'd better do it right because one day or night 

I'm gonna walk to freedom 

You know I loved you once and I want to love again 

But you don't give nothing 



You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize 

Baby, I ain't bluffing 

Black suede, don't waste your time on me 

Black suede, don't bring me misery 



I tried to be inside of you 

But you're black and now I know what to do 

You're a smooth dancer 

But it's alright 



'Cause I'm a freelancer 

And I can tell you're faking though you try 

To make me think you're magical 

Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun 



Because it don't shine nightly 

Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free 

You'd better hang on tightly 

You know I loved you once and I want to love again 



But you don't give nothing 

You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize 

Baby, I ain't bluffing 

Baby, you can rock 'n' roll 



But you can never show your soul, smooth dancer
