That woman I love, tough as they come
Like Annie Oakley,
grinnin' through the smoke
from a loaded gun
She must have been an outlaw,
must have been a thief
Left me standin' in the middle
of the road
wearin' nothin' but disbelief
I'm gone past dignity,
gone past honor or shame
Won't you give me back that woman
Blue eyes burn like a flame
You keep those witches,
got them dressed in red and black
High heels and make -up,
got their hearts in a sack
Talk them off to Hollywood,
send them on a rocket gone to the moon
I'm looking for a sweetheart,
love's so true, man
I ain't joking,
God knows I ain't playing no game
I want you to give me back that woman
Blue eyes burn like a flame
I ain't saying she can walk on water
I ain't saying she can
make a black man see
I know it's not a woman,
she's made out of love
I'd make it a woman for me,
yes it does
She ain't no devil,
but God knows she ain't sweet
She got something in her pocket,
gonna knock me right off my feet
Stare me up in the corner,
tell me if I'm right or wrong
Said, boy, you know a good thing,
you better hold on
I said, you got to be the one and only
She said, oh man, ain't that a shame
I want you to give me back that one
Blue eyes burn like a flame
I want you to give me back that one
Blue eyes burn like a flame
You
