Translation
Bilingual
He's in a picture on a table by the bed
Across the ocean but he's always in her head
Two years start dragging into four
She ain't looking but she can't ignore
The young boys checking her out
ย
Her inner voice beginning to shout
Don't go to parties, she don't want to dance
She ain't drinking but thinking of romance
Little sister started dating last week
Her heart's aching but she can't help but see
The young boys looking in her direction
Her inner voice giving her no selection
She got a little black number hidden away
She wears it in the bedroom, never on a date
Until he comes home and hang on the rack
He's never gonna see her dressed in black
Cries herself to sleep every night
He comes to her bed, lies by her side
Tells her not to worry, holds her tight
When the morning comes, she opens her eyes
Sees that little black number hanging on the wall
Summer's gone, here comes the fall
Lying in the sand in another land
He's never gonna see her dressed in black
She takes that little black number down from the hook
Slender satin show, trying not to look
Putting on makeup like it matters now
Dressing to put him in the ground
ย
Cries herself to sleep holding him tight
It's her little black number
ย
