Black-Eyed Blues

I need a vaccination

For the black-eyed blues

Total fascination

For the color I choose

I don't mind

If you turn me around

Just as long as it gets found

Whoa, found

Certain declaration

To the black-eyed blues

Total destination

For the color I choose

I don't mind, no baby

If you let it ride

Just as long as you let it shine

Whoa, let it shine

I need a vaccination

For the black-eyed blues

Total destination

For the color I choose

I said I just don't

I don't, I don't mind, no

If you turn me around

Just as long as it gets found

Whoa, let it be found

I need indoctrination

To the old-time blues

Total fascination

For the color I choose

I just don't

I don't mind, no

If it's up or down

Just as long as it's turning around

Whoa, Lord, keep it turning around

Certain declaration

To the black-eyed blues

Total destination

For the color I choose

I said I just don't

I don't, I don't mind, no baby

If you let it ride

Just as long as you let it shine

Whoa, let it shine

When I was a little girl

I was vaccinated for something I wasn't supposed to have anyhow

Now that I'm a woman

I've decided it had to be

For the black-eyed blues

Now I don't care what nobody thinks of me

Because nobody that I know wants to get up early in the morning

And look in the mirror

And be ugly with a black eye

You know what I mean?

If you don't like the way I live my life

You don't have to try

We can't be side by side, that's all

'Cause it's the color I choose

Ain't nobody's business, you understand, what I do
