[Verse]
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 of your soul

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, what can I do?
Nothing, my sparrow blue

[Chorus]
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

[Instrumental]

[Refrain]
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, ah-ah
Black beauty, ah-ah
