Black and blue woman
Cold-hearted man
Lightning strikes wire
Belt wrapped in hand
There's blood on the floor
Clothes have been torn
Black and blue woman
Cold-hearted man

But what if the tables turned?
What if them tables turned?
Black and blue woman

Childhood best friend
Only one that has a clue
Mary said "Take this"
The handle black, barrel blued
Said "What am I gonna do with this?"
Mary said "Don't be a fool
"Oh, you know what to do
"This gun ain't for you"

What if the tables turned?
What if the tables turned?
What if the tables turned?

Black and blue woman
Cold-hearted man
Lightning strikes wire
Pistol in her hand
There's blood on the floor
None of it's hers
Black and blue woman
And a cold-hearted man
