You never call me, babe until your man is gone
I know it's you when I pick up the telephone
You ask me how I am and if I'm doin' well
When all you want from me is just to ring your bell
Take your time, we can do some lines 'cos it's alright
We can feel fine, drinkin' midnight wine 'cos it's alright
Black and blue, black and blue
I said come over here, baby
And love me till I'm black and blue
You got the key to love dressed in your innocent smile
You know you touched me baby, babe
So won't you stay for a while?
And take your time, we can do some lines 'cos it's alright
We can feel fine, drinkin' midnight wine 'cos it's alright
Black and blue, black and blue
I said come over here, baby
And love me till I'm black and blue
Black and blue, hey baby, black and blue
I said come over here, baby
And love me till I'm black and blue
Take your time, we can do some lines 'cos it's alright
We can feel fine drinking midnight wine 'cos it's alright
Black and blue, black and blue
I said come over here, baby
And love me till I'm black and blue
Black and blue, baby, black and blue
I said come over here, baby
And love me till I'm black and blue
Oh yeah, I said come over here, baby
And love me till I'm black and blue
Black and blue, black and blue, black and blue
Black and blue, I'm talkin' 'bout me and you, baby
Black and blue, black and blue, baby, baby, black and blue
You come over here baby, babe until I'm black and blue

Whitesnake

Whitesnake are a rock band formed in England in 1978 by David Coverdale, after his departure from his previous band Deep Purple. Their early material has been compared by critics to the blues rock of Deep Purple, but they slowly began moving toward a more commercially accessible rock style. By the turn of the decade, the band’s commercial fortunes changed and they released a string of UK top 10 albums, Ready an' Willing (1980), Come an' Get It (1981), Saints & Sinners (1982) and Slide It In (1984), the last of which was their first to chart in the US and is certified 2x platinum.
