BLACK WIDOW 
(Michael Donovan)

Lovely lonely lady in black;
apparent innocence with elegance
A flowin’ gown upon your back,
and a subtle scarlet hint of arrogance

I was down -- my resistance low ….. 
you captured me when I was new in town
Those misty eyes with a charming-glow;
under your spell I was overcome .... 
I could not turn-you-down

(CHORUS 1)
Just how was I to know -- Black Widow -- that you were puttin’-on a show -- Black Widow -- It’s heartless, can’t you see? -- Black Widow -- oh, just what you’ve done to me -- Black Widow ..... 
oh, Black Widow  o~o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ow

Now after you had won my trust
by masquerade and by clever bluff,
you wrapped me tightly in your web of lust,
then used me constantly …… 
'til you’d had enough

That ruthless demon inside of you
has made-me-out to be a fool
You left me here without a clue;
destroyed my heart .…. 
oh, so cold and cruel

(CHORUS 2)
I really wanted you -- Black Widow -- I was in love with you -- Black Widow -- such a perfect disguise -- Black Widow -- I should have seen it in your eyes -- Black Widow .....
witches never suffer so -- Black Widow -- no, such pain you’ll never know -- Black Widow .....
Black Widows have no heart -- Black Widow -- they live to tear them all apart -- Black Widow ......
no, no, no .…… Black Widow -- Black Widow -- Black Widow -- Black Widow …...
oh, Black Widow  o~o~o~o~o~o~o~ow
