I paint my nails black 
I dye my hair a darker shade 
Light brown 
As 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 all 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 eye shade blue 
The magnificence 
It don't make sense to you 

Black beauty, oh 
Black beauty, oh 

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 eye shade blue 
The magnificence 
It don't make sense to you 

Black beauty, oh 
Black beauty, oh 
Black beauty, oh 
Black beauty, oh 
Black beauty, oh 

Black beauty, baby 
Black beauty, baby 

Oh, what can I do? 
Life is beautiful 
But you don't have clue 

Sun and eye shade blue 
The magnificence 
It don't make sense to you 

Black beauty, oh 
Black beauty, oh 
Black beauty, oh 
Black beauty, oh
