Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Ooh, black pearl, precious little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
Black pearl, precious little girl
You been in the background much too long
[Verse 2]
You been workin' so hard your whole life through
Tendin' other people's houses, raisin' up their chirren too
How 'bout somethin' for me and you?
You in my arms, you gonna reign supreme
(Reign supreme)
No more servin', they've got to serve my queen
(Serve my queen)
It's our turn for happiness
And our day has come
Livin' for each other and answerin' to no one
[Verse 3]
Black pearl, precious little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
Black pearl, precious little girl
You been in the background much too long
[Verse 4]
Together we stand, so brave and so tall
Created by  Lord to love one and all
Heart to heart, and soul to soul
No other one could ever take your place
(Take your place)
My world is built around every smile that's on your face
(On your face)
Never win a beauty show, no, they won't need you
But you're my Miss Phenomenal and I love you
[Verse 5]
Black pearl, precious little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
'Cause I love you
Black pearl, precious little girl
You been in the background much too long
[Verse 6]
Ooh, black pearl, precious little girl
You been in the background much too long
Black pearl, precious little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
'Cause I love you
Black pearl, precious little girl
