Natalie Merchant Lyrics
"Black Sheep"

Oh, it's no secret
You know my every weakness
Oh, haven't the strength now
Not enough to waste tonight

Oh, spark the fire
Tinderbox of desire
Oh, Lord have mercy
The thirst I feel tonight

I can see that you can see my eyes

Black sheep up on the fence
You're a naughty little boy and you make me tense
Prodigal son, won't you come on home?
Door's open wide, take a look inside
Take a look inside
Take a look inside

Oh, my hands are tied now
So you gotta decide now
See, I just can't take it
Can't you see that I'm breaking?

I can see...

Black sheep up on the fence
You make me tense
Prodigal son, won't you come on home?
Door's open wide, take a look inside
Take a look inside
Take a look inside

Baa baa black sheep up on the fence
You're a naughty little boy and you make me tense
Prodigal son, won't you come on home?
For the door's open wide, take a look inside
Take a look inside
Oh, take a look inside
Take a look inside
Just take a look inside
