Black Pearl

Black Pearl

Black Pearl, precious little girl

Let me put you up where you belong

Black Pearl, pretty little girl

You've been in the background much too long

You've been working so hard your whole life through

Tending other people's houses, raising up their children too

How about something for me and you?

Here in my arms, you're gonna reign supreme

You're not gonna serve, they've got to serve my queen

It's our turn for happiness, you see, our day has come

Just living for each other, answering to the one

Black Pearl, precious little girl

Let me put you up where you belong

Black Pearl, pretty little girl

You've been in the background much too long

Together we stand so brave and so tall

Created by love to love one and all

Heart to heart, soul to soul

No other woman will ever take your place

Who could replace that loving smile that's on your face?

You'll never win a beauty show, no, they won't pick you

But you're my Miss Phenomenal, I love you

Black Pearl, precious little girl

Let me put you up where you belong

Black Pearl, pretty little girl

You've been in the background much too long

Here in my arms, you're gonna reign supreme (Reign supreme)

You're not gonna serve, they've got to serve my queen (Serve my queen)

You'll never win a beauty show, no, they won't pick you

But you're my Miss Phenomenal, I love you

I got a black pearl, yeah, she makes my world

I wouldn't leave her, no, 'cause she's the real, the real deal

Brown girl, sound girl, we get down

Now it should be known, the top three are bound

So I'm gonna put you up where you belong, where power's strong

Too long in the background, you've been put down

Too long wrong, you've been treated wrong

It ain't on the foreground's where you

Belong, you just have to stand strong

Stand strong, stand strong in the morning

Stand strong, stand strong in the night
