Our time
Short and precious
Your lips
Warm and luscious
You don't have
To wear false charms
'Cause when i wrap you
In my hungry arms
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
Your hair
Soft and crinkly
Your body
Strong and stately
You don't have
To search and roam
'Cause I got
Your love at home
Be real black for me
Be real black for me
In my head
I'm only half together
If i lose you
I'd be ruined forever
Darling
Take my hand
And hold me
Hold me (x4)
You know how much
I need you
To have you
Really feel you
You don't have
To change a thing
No one knows
The love you bring
Be real black for me
