Black Pearl

Black pearl, precious little girl
 Let me put you up where you belong
 Black pearl, pretty little girl
 You been in the background much too long
 You been working so hard your whole life through
 Tendin' other people's houses
 Raisin' up their children too
 Hey, how about something for me and you
 Here in my arms, you're gonna reign supreme
 No more servin' baby, they're gonna serve my queen
 It's our turn for happiness and our day has come
 Living for each other, and answering to no one
 Black pearl, precious little girl
 Let me put you up where you belong
 Because I love you
 Black pearl, pretty little girl
 You been in the background much too long
 Together we'll stand so straight and so tall
 Created by love to love one and all
 Hey, heart-to-heart, soul to soul
 No other one could ever take your place (take your place)
 My world is built around
 The very smile that's on your face (on your face)
 You'll never win a beauty show
 No, they won't pick you
 But you're my miss America and I love you
 Black pearl, precious little girl
 Let me put you up where you belong
 I really need you
 Black pearl, pretty little girl
 You been in the background much too long
 Ooh-ooh-ooh, yeah-yeah-yeah
 Mama-mama-me, ooh
 (Black pearl), you know I need you (precious little girl), you know I want to
 (Let me put you up where you belong) make you for myself, but I don't know nobody else
 My baby, I love you (black pearl), you know I need you (pretty little girl)
 You know I got to, got to, got to love you baby (you been in the background much too long)
 Come on baby, come on, come on, come on and be my baby
 (Black pearl) you know I love (precious little girl)
 (Let me put you up where you belong) I don't need nobody
 Let me put you up where you belong
 (Black pearl, pretty little girl) let me take you home, come on baby love, I-I-I-I love you
 (You been in the background much too long)
 And I need you, I want you, want you for myself
 (Black pearl, precious little girl) come on baby, I love you, hey yeah
 (Let me put you up where you belong) hey-hey-hey-hey yeah
 (Black pearl) oh man, I need (pretty little girl), baby love I want you
