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 a night time of today

So it'd suit the mood of your song



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

Oh, oh, ohh-oh

Black beauty

Oh, oh, ohh-oh



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

The same 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 to you

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

Oh, oh, ohh-oh

Black beauty

Oh, oh, ohh-oh



Black beauty

Ah, ah, ah-ahh

Black beauty

Ah, ahhh-ahh

Black beauty

Ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah

Black beauty, baby

Black beauty, baby



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

Oh, oh, ohh-oh

Black beauty

Oh, oh, ohh-oh

Black beauty

Oh, oh, ohh-oh

Black beauty

Oh, oh, ohh-oh
