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 night time of today

So it'd suit the mood of your song

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, oh oh oh
Black beauty, oh oh 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
The same like cherries in the spring

Darling, you can't let everything
Seem so dark blue


Oh, what can I do?
To turn you on or get through to 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 oh oh
Black beauty, oh oh oh


Black beauty, ah ah
Black beauty, ah ah

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

Black beauty, oh oh oh
