Lyrics
First Verse:
I watch the sun slowly slip into the sea
The arc of an island moon beckons me
Paper white lanterns sway in palm trees
The rhythm of the rhumba's haunting me
I search the dance floor you're nowhere in sight Anticipation builds in the cool moonlight
I look to our room, you're walking down the steps
Wearing nothing but a smile and that little black dress
Chorus:
I'm a man possessed
Since I saw you in that little black dress
I'm a man obsessed
Got to get you out, get you out, get you out of that
Little black dress
Second Verse:
Next thing I know we've started to dance
Skin to skin in a sensuous trance
In a crowd, alone, lost in the beat
Of the rhythm of the night in the tropical heat
Where I really want to be is back in our room
Underneath the fragrance of your perfume
The temperature's rising, I'm trying to finesse
You out of that little black dress
Repeat Chorus
Bridge:
What a way to spend a honeymoon
Nothing on but me and you
Making love with a love possessed
All because of a little black dress
Out Chorus:
I was a man possessed
When you put on that little black dress
I was a man obsessed
To get you out, get you out, get you out . . .
Of that little black dress
