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 a 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
That magnificence
It don't make sense to you
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 ocean blue
Their magnificence
It don't make sense to you
Black beauty
Oh
