Black Beauty

—
I paint my nails black
I dye my hair a darker shade of brown
'cause you like your women Spanish
dark, strong and proud

I paint the sky black
you said if you could have your way
you'd make it night time all today
so I'd suit the mood of your soul

oh, what can I do?
nothing, my sparrow blue

oh, what can I do?
life is beautiful but you don't have a clue
sun and ocean blue
their magnificence, it don't make sense to you

black beauty, ah-ah
black beauty, ah-ah

I paint the house black
my wedding dress black leather too
you have no room for light
love is lost on you

I keep my lips red
to seem like cherries in the spring
darling, you can't let everything
seem so dark blue

but oh, what can I do?
to turn you on or get through you?

black beauty, baby
black beauty, baby
