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
Youd make it nighttime all today
So itd suit the mood with your soul
Oh, what can I do?
Nothing, my sparrow blue
Oh, what can I do?
Life is beautiful, but you dont have a clue
Sun and ocean blue
Their magnificence, it dont 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 cant 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 dont have a clue
Sun and ocean blue
Their magnificence, it dont make sense to you
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, baby
Black beauty, baby
Oh, what can I do?
Life is beautiful, but you dont have a clue
Sun and ocean blue
Their magnificence, it dont make sense to you
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, ah-ah
