Woman in Black Lyrics

Cover art for Woman in Black lyrics by Foreigner

This is about AC/DC's album "Back in Black" which was released just the year before this. They use a woman as a metaphor for the album, which has an all-black cover. The first part is about when he walks into the record shop and first encounters the album. The mystery intrigues him and he can only imagine what it will be like. The middle part reveals that the music is as awesome has he imagined it might be, and in fact he becomes obsessed with the album. The final part explains that he can't stop listening to the album, and has to do so in secret because his parents and teachers don't approve.
