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 nighttime want a day So it'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 Black beauty 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 Oh, what can I do? To turn you on or get through 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 Black beauty Black beauty Black beauty Black beauty 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 Black beauty Black beauty Black beauty
