(Blackmore/Gillan/Glover/Lord/Paice)


  Black suede, don't mean you're good for me
  Black suede, just brings your mystery
  I want to be inside of you
  But you're black and I don't know what to do

  You're a smooth dancer
  But it's alright
  Cos I'm a freelancer
  And you can never break me though you try
  To make me think you're magical

  Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun
  Because it don't shine nightly
  Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free
  You'd better hang on tightly
  You wanna rule the world, but you're acting like a girl
  Who's got a false pregnancy
  You've swollen up inside with nothing but your pride
  And yet you keep on dancing

  Black suede, don't waste your time on me
  Black suede, I sense your mockery
  I tried to go along with you
  But you're black and I know just what to do

  You're a smooth dancer
  But it's alright
  Cos I'm a freelancer
  And you can never break me though you try
  To make me think you're magical

  I think you're crazy, your two-timing ways
  They don't bother me none
  You'd better do it right because one day or night
  I'm gonna walk to freedom
  You know I loved you once and I wanna love again
  But you don't give nothing
  You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize
  Baby, I ain't bluffing

  Black suede, don't waste your time on me
  Black suede, don't bring me misery
  I tried to be inside of you
  But you're black and now I know what to do

  You're a smooth dancer
  But it's alright
  Cos I'm a freelancer
  And I can tell you're faking though you try
  To make me think you're magical

  Baby, you're the one who can never see the sun
  Bacause it don't shine nightly
  Don't you look at me because I'm gonna shake free
  You'd better hang on tightly
  You know I loved you once and I wanna love again
  But you don't give nothing
  You can see it in my eyes so you've got to realize
  Baby, I ain't bluffing
  Baby, you can rock'n'roll
  But you can never show your soul, smooth dancer
