[Verse 1]
Oh, it’s no secret you know my every weakness
Oh, haven’t the strength now, not enough to waste tonight
Oh, spark the fire, tinderbox of desire
Oh, Lord have mercy, the thirst I feel tonight
I can see that you can see my eyes

[Chorus]
Black sheep up on the fence
You’re a naughty little boy and you make me tense
Prodigal son, won’t you come on home
The door’s open wide, take a look inside, take a look inside

[Verse 2]
Oh, my hands are tied now so you’ve gotta decide now
See, I just can’t take it. Can’t you see that I’m breaking?

I can see—

[Chorus]
Black sheep up on the fence
You make me tense
Prodigal son, won’t you come on home
The door’s open wide, take a look inside, take a look inside

[Instrumental]
[Chorus]
Bah, bah black sheep up on the fence
You’re a naughty little boy and you make me tense
Prodigal son, won’t you come on home
For the door’s open wide, take a look inside, take a look inside

[Outro]
Oh, take a look inside
Take a look inside
Just take a look inside
