I dropped you off on the corner
You got somewhere to be tonight
It’s not enough to be sure
No proof can quite make me feel all right
When I’m hit with a windfall
The kind that pushes me backwards
I’m trying to catch up but I’m too slow
I just can’t see there’s an obstacle

That’s why I’m so strong, I don’t show what’s going wrong
I keep the black on, my mood is my flagstone
That’s why I’m so strong, I’m built for holding on
I keep the black on, my mood is my backbone
 
I pick you up when you call me
You look like someone to be tonight
I don’t know if you want me
No proof can quite make me feel all right
When I’m wrapped up like a fist
I don’t want to fight, I just look like this
I’m the one with the white flag, don’t you see
There’s no one else here behind me

That’s why I’m so strong, I don’t show what’s going wrong
I keep the black on, my mood is my flagstone
That’s why I’m so strong, I’m built for holding on
I keep the black on, my mood is my backbone

In the heat of my shade I keep the black on
and that’s why I’m so strong, I don’t show what’s going wrong
I keep the black on, my mood is my flagstone
and that’s why I’m so strong, I’m built for holding on
I keep the black on, my mood is my backbone


Keep the black on

you & me
