Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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 it nighttime all today

So it'd suit the mood of your soul

[PreChorus]

Oh, what can I do?

Nothing, my sparrow blue

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

Black beauty, ah

Black beauty, ah

[Verse 2]

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

[PreChorus]

But oh, what can I do?

To turn you on or get through you?

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

Black beauty, ah

Black beauty, ah

[Bridge]

Black beauty, ah

Black beauty, ah

Black beauty, ah

Black beauty, baby

Black beauty, baby

[Chorus]

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

[Refrain]

Black beauty, ah

Black beauty, ah

Black beauty, ah

Black beauty, ah
