Lyrics

Hot Black Silk

[Verse 1]

There will be trouble with me

There will be trouble more than these

And I warned you

Ten times of these things

[Chorus]

There ain’t nothin’ short of wisdom

There ain’t nothin’ short of wisdom

In your hot black silk

Hot black silk

Hot black silk

[Verse 2]

And there won’t be more

Than one of me

Is the only thing I can ever promise you

And I make enough lovin’

For three of me

[Chorus]

There ain’t nothin’ short of wisdom

There ain’t nothin’ short of wisdom

In your hot black silk

Hot black silk

Hot black silk

Hot black silk
