[Verse 1]
Cocoa-butter kisses, wipe my tears away
I wanna feel you like cold water dripping down my face
I wanna fly high like the stars that I see
Like the birds in the sky, like the birds in the sky

[Verse 2]
How do you reconcile, rectify, free your mind?
Bonadage, they have me in shackles
How do you smile when you've got nothing to smile about?
How do you love when you've got no one coming back to the house?

[Chorus]
Black woman, sometimes
Sad woman, but all of the time
She's a queen from another place
Why are you so displaced?
Shе's a goddess walking on earth, baby

[Verse 3]
Superwoman, powеr comes from the sun
Lovely woman, my only one
Mother of creation, all the nations
Sing your praise without knowing

[Chorus]
Black woman, sometimes
Sad woman, but all of the time
She's a queen from another place
Why are you so displaced?
She's a goddess walking on earth, baby, yeah
[Bridge]
How do you love?
How do you love the way you do?

[Verse 4]
What did I do to deserve you?
Why do I always desert you?
How do you feel when they don't feel for you?
How do you love when they don't love you back? No

[Chorus]
Woman, sometimes
How do you love, how do you love the way you do?
How do you love, how do you love the way you do?
How do you love, how do you love the way you do?
Black woman
