She had yellow hair
She had high-heel shoes
She red the whole affair
And left you black and blue
In 1956
She was just a kiss
In 1985
How could she come to this
He had yellow hair
He like high-heel shoes
Lipstick was everywhere
And he left her black and blue
So it's Saturday night
You check the TV guide
And pray you'll be all right
Because it's your turn this time
See she had yellow hair
She had high-heel shoes
Lipstick was everywhere
And you left her black and blue
What's it to you
It's black and blue

Because it's your turn this time

See she had yellow hair

She had high-heel shoes

Lipstick was everywhere

And you left her black and blue

What's it to you

It's black and blue
