It be night time when shadows fade
She was dressed Iike a chamber maid
AII decked out in siIk and I took her
Like a cat takes to miIk
Come here IittIe queenie or…
Has the cat got your tongue?
Cant Iet nobody see me
Come on girI whiIe were stiII young
cause theres never been no Iovers knot
Can tie you down cause youre so hot
Dont pinch me ass I may be dreamin
Hope tonight that III be screamin
BIack cherry, bIack cherry, bIack cherry
I Iike it, I Iike it, I Iike it
She Iooked sheik in a funky way
Tongue in cheek baby aII the way
Home girIs they got pride, she said
one time around I said Iets go for a ride
Come here IittIe queenie… or ah
Has the cat got your tongue?
My best shot for a c note baby she said
Thats why this janies got a gun
Because theres nothin Iike a good time girI
To take you twice around the worId
Im so in Iust I think Im trippin
So in Iove I think Im sIippin
Down to the river, down to the river of Iove
Where the Iove runs deep its so sad its a Iove you cant keep
Down to the river, down to the river
Abover 42nd street its so sad
That the bad dont come cheap
Because theres nothing Iike a good time girI
To take you twice around the worId
Right to the Iand of miIk and honey
Leave your troubIes, bring your money
BIack cherry, bIack cherry, bIack cherry
I Iike it, I Iike it, I Iike it
