Verse 1
[F]
I paint my nails black,
[Dm] [Bb]
I dye my hair a darker shade of brown,
[F]
'Cause you like your women,
[C]
Spanish, dark, strong and proud.
[F]
You paint the sky black,
[Dm]
You said if you could have your way,
[Bb]
You'd make a nighttime world today,
[F] [C]
So it'd suit the mood of your soul.

Oh, what can I do?
[Bb] [C]
Nothing my sparrow, blue.

Sun and ocean, blue,
[C] [Bb]
That magnificence,
[Dm]
It don't make sense to you.

I paint the house black,
[Dm]
My wedding dress black leather too.

Love is lost on you.

I keep my lips red,

To seem like cherries in the spring.

Seem so dark blue.

To turn you on or get through you?
