[Intro] [Verse 1] Saturday night, I was downtown Working undercover for the FBI Sitting in a room full of gamblers With the smoke rolling way up high A crooked little bar on the West Side Where the bad deals carried on I was waiting to call the lawman When I heard her singing that song [Pre-Chorus] Those bright blue eyes caught me by surprise My heart started beating, I couldn't disguise [Chorus] She was a midnight lady in a black dress Standing tall with a cool, sly smile One single glance, I was in distress That midnight woman drove me wild Yeah, a midnight lady in a black dress Had me hooked from the very first mile [Instrumental Interlude] Woo! [Verse 2] I saw her moving toward the corner Like a black cat walking through the night Charlie said, "Boy, you'd better watch her She's got trouble wrapped up tight" Then the sirens started screaming And the whole place came undone People jumping over tables Then I heard the crack of a gun [Pre-Chorus] The agent grabbed me by the shoulder While she was holding on to me I said, "Don't you worry, darling There's a way that we can leave" With the whole place going crazy She was all I could see [Chorus] She was a midnight lady in a black dress Standing tall with a cool, sly smile One single glance, I was in distress That midnight woman drove me wild Yeah, a midnight lady in a black dress Had me hooked from the very first mile [Instrumental Break] Woo! Come on! [Outro] That black dress That sly smile She had me dreaming For a long, long while Had me dreaming Had me dreaming Ooh, all night long Yeah! That midnight lady Had me dreaming all night long!
