[Verse 1: Martin L. Gore]
She's dressed in black again
And I'm falling down again
Down to the floor again
I'm begging for more again
But, oh, what can you do
When she's dressed in black?

[Verse 2: Martin L. Gore]
My mind wanders endlessly
On paths where she's leading me
With games that she likes to play
And words that she doesn't say
Not when we're alone
And she's dressed in black

[Bridge: Martin L. Gore]
As a picture of herself
She's a picture of the world
A reflection of you, a reflection of me
And it's all therе to see
If you only give in
To the fire within

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore, (Peter Gordeno)]
(Oooh) Drеssed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
[Verse 3: Martin L. Gore]
Shadows fall onto me
As she stands there over me
And waits to encompass me
I lay here helplessly
But, oh, what can you do
When she's dressed in black?

[Chorus: Martin L. Gore, (Peter Gordeno)]
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again

[Outro: Martin L. Gore, (audience)]
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
(Oooh) Dressed in black again
"Thank you!"

Dave Gahan: "Thank you. Martin L. Gore, my pal. Thank you very much."
