Be Real Black For Me

Roberta Flack · Roberta Flack & Donny Hathaway [1972]

Our time, short and precious

Your lips, warm and luscious

You don't have to wear false charms

'Cause when i wrap you in my hungry arms

Be real black for me

Be real black for me



Your hair, soft and crinkly

Your body, strong and stately

You don't have to search and roam

'Cause I got your love at home

Be real black for me

Be real black for me



In my head i'm only half together

If i lose you, i'd be ruined forever

Darling, take my hand and hold me

Hold me (x4)



You know how much i need you

To have you, really feel you



You don't have to change a thing

No one knows the love you bring



Be real black for me
