Two, three, four
(Woohoo, woohoo)
(Woohoo, woohoo)
Well, my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking
(Woohoo, woohoo)
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree
(Woohoo, woohoo)
I felt a little fear upon my back
I said don't look back, just keep on walking
(Woohoo, woohoo)
Well, the big black horse said "Look this way"
He said, "Hey lady, will you marry me?"
(Woohoo, woohoo)
But I said "No, no, no, no, no, no"
I said "No, no, you're not the one for me"
No, no, no, no, no, no
I said "No, no, you're not the one for me"
(Ooh, woohoo)
And my heart had a problem in the early hours
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two
(Woohoo, woohoo)
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done it
And it won't forgive me after all these years
(Woohoo, woohoo)
So I sent her to a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree
(Woohoo, woohoo)
Now it won't come back 'cause it's oh-so-happy
And now I've got a hole for the world to see
(Woohoo, woohoo)
And it said "No, no, no, no, no, no"
I said "No, no, you're not the one for me"
No, no, no, no, no, no
I said "No, no, you're not the one for me"
(Ooh, woohoo) (not the one for me, yeah)
(Ooh, woohoo)
I said "No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You're not the one for me" (woohoo)
No, no, no, no (woohoo)
No, no, no (woohoo)
No, no
You're not the one for me
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me
Yeah, yeah, yeah (woohoo)
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me
(Woohoo, woohoo)
(Woohoo, woohoo)
Well, my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking
(Woohoo, woohoo)
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere

Big black horse and a cherry tree

Yeah, yeah, yeah (woohoo)
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

All of these explanations are very good, but I think that people are making too much of it, with symbolism and all.
Not everything has a secret, hidden meaning that's very personal to the artist. She's a musician, and she makes art. Just like Picasso make some really funky stuff that looks like a bunch of colors splattered on to paper, this might be the equivalent in music.
While there are boatloads of metaphors in the song, they're put together in a way that I think are meant to be catchy, fun, and confusingly artistic.
