Time: 2:15, the AM.
Place: Ronardo’s “Boom-Boom-Room” on South Street.
I’m a hot blonde and it was a cold night.
This is my story. I ain’t ashamed to tell it.
I was hungry, tired and lookin’ for love.

I was just a pilgrim in the hot pursuit of love.
Wandered from disco to disco,
that’s all my life was.
Suddenly you danced up against me.
It felt warm and smooth.
I knew in an instant
that you were my moment of darkest truth.

Oh, my knight in black leather,
hold me tight and love me forever.
Rings on your fingers, love in your heart.
Knight in black leather, we’ll never part.

Only you can shine the light
on the dark side of my mind.
And your evil sweetness
leaves a trail of lovers behind.
When you crush me to your heart
I feel just like a queen.
I’m a willing victim.
Tell me, all my life where have you been?

Oh, my knight in black leather,
hold me tight and love me forever.
Rings on your fingers, love in your heart.
Knight in black leather, we’ll never part, haaa.

Oh, my knight in black leather,
take me down and love me forever.
Walk on through the halls of my soul.
Knight in black leather.
And you’ve got control.
Oh, don’t ya know, baby?

You’re my knight!
C’mon and love me forever!
Rings on your fingers, love on demand.
Knight in black leather,
oh, you’ve got command.
And how I love ya, baby.

Whoa, my knight!
Sweet, sweet knight!
You know that I love you, I love you, love you!
We’ll never pa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aart!

(We’re the knights in black leather,
and we will chain you down
and love you forever.
Walk on through the halls of your soul.
Yeah, the knights inblack leather.
We’re in controoooool!)

You know he smells just like a brand new car,
’cause everything he owns is leather!
A leather shirt, leather hat,
leather gloves, leather spats,
leather chaps, leather pants,
leather socks, leather cap,
leather coat! leather wrap!
leather neck! leather ring!
LEATHER THING!!!!!!!

We’ll never pa-aa-aa-aart!
Oh, my knight in black leather!
Take us down! Love me honey, come on, love me!
You got to hold me, hold me!
We’ll never pa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aa-aart!
Whoa-oh-ooo-oh-oh! . . .
