I wanna top the rose petals that whisper sweet   Come on      So dark, dark, so dark   So dark, dark, so dark      Inside, lookin' out my window   I don't see nothin' but rain   Sun up in the sky, just a shinin'   Still I'm lost in my shadow of pain      Like an innocent man that's on death row   I don't understand what made you go   And wanna leave me, baby, leave me in the dark   Can you tell me, tell me?      You took my sex and my money   Took all my self esteem, yes, you did   You had the nerve to think it was funny   I never knew a bitch so mean, oh, yes sir      You absolutely drove a man to tears   All I really know is that you sincerely wanna hurt me, baby   Oh yes, you do   You wanna hurt me in the dark      Sunshine, somebody make the sun shine   Dark cloud, somebody take this dark cloud away      Just as sure as Noah built the ark   That's how sure I am you broke my heart   How could you, baby, leave me in the dark? Baby, so dark      So dark, so dark   Feel like the sun ain't never gonna shine   You left me in the dark   So dark, so dark      I don't know, I don't know why we ever had to part   Baby, can't see a damn thing out my window, it's so dark      Sometimes I want to curse the ground you walk on   Even when I know that everything you feel, I feel it too   I wanna curse you, baby, you left me in the dark   And now I want to curse you, baby   For leavin' me alone, alone, alone   Oh yes, you did      And now all I wanna say is   In the dark, you left me, you left me      It's like being on death row   I don't understand why you had to go   I don't understand why you hurt me in the dark   Don't understand why you hurt me in the dark   Don't understand why you hurt me, hurt me, hurt me, hurt me here   Just leave me      In the dark   In the dark      So dark, so dark   So dark, so dark      In the dark
