The Black Spot

My friend...
My friend...
You were loyal and true
'til that wretch of a woman;
Well, she got to you...

My friend...
My friend...
I been down on my knees,
but I won't be beggin'
no more, beggin' please.

The black spot...
The black spot...
I never thought I'd be the one givin' it to you.
The black spot...
The black spot...
My heart just ain't in it no more.

My lover...
My lover...
We sure had somethin' strong,
'til you took our love away;
Left before long...

My lover...
My lover...
I been down on my knees;
But I won't be beggin',
no more beggin' please.

The black spot...
The black spot...
I never thought I'd be the one givin' it to you.
The black spot...
The black spot...
My heart just ain't in it no more.

You can build up love,
make the foundation strong,
but soon the cracks start to show.

You can build a love up,
as best as you can,
but sooner or later, it's gonna show...
