Black Like Me Lyrics

Cover art for Black Like Me lyrics by Spoon

Corrected lyrics from the liner:

I'm in need of someone to take care of me tonight As I walk into Dorian's, can you see it in my eyes? My boots are on the mend, and they ain't walking home Street tar and summer do a job on your sole Street tar and summer do a job on your sole

Jenny's watching Cover Shot My head's feeling light I'm in need of someone take care of me tonight Anyhow, anyway, so I split Like just getting out of there is gonna get me out of this. I spent the night in the map room I humanized the vacuum.

I'm in need of someone to take care of me tonight Ah and as I'm lookin' out at you, can you see that in...in my eyes, On the mend, now they could lead me home Street tar and summer, they play a trick on your soul

Oh Jenny's gone day and night Ah it makes me feel so light Just somebody to care tonight

Jenny's watching day and night Ah my head's still feeling light Someone to take care tonight

All the weird kids up front, Tell me what you know you want Someone to take care tonight.

Listening to the song, there are a few spots where it sounds like he's saying, "I believe that someone take care of me tonight" instead of "I'm in need". But Britt Daniel has always kind of garbled his lyrics and that's one of the joys of Spoon so.... take it or leave it.
