[Verse 1]
Black and blue woman
Cold-hearted man
Lightning strikes wire
Belt wrapped in hand
There's blood on the floor
Clothes have been torn
Black and blue woman
Cold-hearted man

[Chorus]
But what if the tables turned?
What if them tables turned?
Black and blue woman

[Verse 2]
Childhood best friend
Only one that has a clue
Mary said "Take this"
The handle black, barrel blued
Said "What am I gonna do with this?"
Mary said "Don't be a fool
"Oh, you know what to do
"This gun ain't for you"

[Chorus]
What if the tables turned?
What if the tables turned?
What if the tables turned?

[Verse 3]
Black and blue woman
Cold-hearted man
Lightning strikes wire
Pistol in her hand
There's blood on the floor
None of it's hers
Black and blue woman
And a cold-hearted man
