BLACK PEARL

Sonny Charles & The Checkmates, Ltd.



Black pearl, precious little girl

Let me put you up where you belong

Black pearl 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 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

My world is built around

The very smile that's on your face

You'll never win a beauty show

No they won't pick you

But you're my miss America

I love you
