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 of today 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, ah-ah-ah-ah Black beauty, ah-ah-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? 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-ah-ah Black beauty, ah-ah-ah-ah Black beauty, ah-ah-ah-ah Black beauty, ah-ah-ah 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, ah-ah-ah-ah Black beauty, ah-ah-ah-ah Black beauty, ah-ah-ah-ah Black beauty, ah-ah-ah-ah
