{Two, three, four}


(woo-hoo, woo-hoo) [throughout the whole song]


Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So I'm gonna let it do all the talking.
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere

With a big black horse and a cherry tree.

I fell in fear, upon my back

He said "Don't look back, just keep on walking."
When the big black horse said, "Hey lady!" {When the big black horse said, "Look this way"}
Said, "Look this way, will you marry me?" {Said, "Hey, lady, will you marry me?"}


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


And my heart had a problem, in the early hours,
So I stopped it dead for a beat or two.
But I cut some cord, and I shouldn't have done that,

And it won't forgive me after all these years

So I sent it to a place in the middle of nowhere

With a big black horse and a cherry tree.
Now it won't come back, 'cause it's oh so happy
And now I've got a hole for the world to see


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
Said no, no, you're not the one for me


{Not the one for me}

Said no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,

You're not the one for me
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no
You're not the one for me


(do, do, do, do)


Well I was
Big black horse and a cherry tree
I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

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

(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me
No, no, no, no
(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

No, no, no, no
(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me
(Big black horse and a cherry tree) I can't quite get there 'cause my heart's forsaken me

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

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