Black Widow Spider lyrics

You are my queen of the Nile
You are my black widow spider
You are my funky, sad, downtrodden child
You are my black widow spider
 
[chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh. I'll be anything you want me to be right now,
I'll even be your black widow spider,
Oh, but you got to promise me, oh, you're gonna stay right by my side.
 
You make my sun rise up in the morning
You are my black widow spider
You are my storm, you come without warning
You are my black widow spider
 
[chorus:]
Oh, oh, oh, just like a storm, I'll come running on along behind you,
I'm warning you, just like a black widow spider,
Oh, but I'm sure never going to leave you, oh, never, never.
 
Black widow spider, they say, you're the one who kills your mate,
Tell me, please, I pray, that it isn't true.
Of all the ones I've known, all the ones who got me stoned,
I have never grown like I have with you.
 
Oh, yeah babe, I know that you need me, too
Yes, I know
