I paint my nails black

I dye my hair a darker shade of brown

′Cause you like your women Spanish, dark, strong and proudI paint the sky black

You said if you could have your way

You'd make it nighttime all today

So it′d 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 don't have a clue

Sun and ocean blue

Their magnificence, it don't make sense to you

Black beauty, ooh

Black beauty, ooh

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, ooh

Black beauty, ooh

Black beauty, ooh

Black beauty, ooh

Black beauty, ooh

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, ooh

Black beauty, ooh

Black beauty, ooh

Black beauty, ooh
