I watched Emmitt Smith and Cheryl Burke perform on Dancing with the Stars last night and in the public interest I've decided to provide the lyrics of the song to which they danced, "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree."

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!"
said, "Look this way, 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.

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

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.
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.
