[Verse 1]
Born to Cuban descendants
Young, Black, cool, independent
And everybody likes to call her Harlem's Rose
I fell in love from the first glance
She was the definition of romance
Must be a hole in Heaven way up in the skies

[Pre-Chorus]
We started hanging out together day and night
Body was bangin', caliente, so tight
We caught a vibe so strong
I never should have done her wrong
Now I want you back

[Chorus]
And I remember how she used to lay
After the love, all the games we played
Lied to a friend, love's at an end
My Heaven is gone
So I cry a little more each night
Because I'm never gonna hold you tight
Amor, come back to me, Rosita La Negra
Black Rose, la negra
Black Rose
[Verse 2]
As the wind blows the willows
I can still see her face by my pillow
With every tear drop, I almost feel her in my arms
In my arms
My head keeps on pounding
I can't help stop the sound of
The rain above (The cry of love)
Can't look in the mirror 'cause nothing is clearer
Than guilty eyes full of lies

[Pre-Chorus]
We started hanging out together day and night
(We started hanging out)
Body was bangin', caliente, so tight
We caught a vibe so strong
I never should have done her wrong
Now I want you back

[Chorus]
And I remember how she used to lay
After the love, all the games we played
Lied to a friend, love's at an end
My Heaven is gone
So I cry a little more each night
Because I'm never gonna hold you tight
Amor, come back to me, Rosita La Negra
[Bridge]
Not a color in the rainbow
(Black is so beautiful to me)
A velvet flower in the garden
(Wish Heaven would send her back to me)
Just give me the chance and I'll make it right
Girl, I swear
Black Rose

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
And I remember how she used to lay
After the love, all the games we played
(The games we played)
Lied to a friend, love's at an end
My Heaven is gone
So I cry a little more each night
Because I'm never gonna hold you tight
Amor, come back to me, Rosita La Negra
Black Rose, la negra
Black Rose

[Outro]
And I remember how she used to lay
After the love, all the games we played
Lied to a friend, love's at an end
My Heaven is gone
So I cry a little more each night
Because I'm never gonna hold you tight
Amor, come back to me, Rosita La Negra
Black Rose, la negra
