Lyrics
Hey, beautiful African girl
I got something I want to say to you
Girl, I love you
I love you
I love you, beautiful black girl
And I need you so bad (so bad)
Friends tell me I should seek only the solution
To the revolution
But my life is staging its own revolution
Trying to free itself of the chains of loneliness
And my heart is begging for a chance
Knocking on the door of romance
I'm a poet
But poets need love, too (we do)
I do (me too)
I need a beautiful black sister just like you (like you)
Who is so aware (so aware)
So let me show you that I care
And touch your warm, ebony skin
Be your lifetime friend
Guide my fingers through your natural hair
And give you a love beyond compare
Because, shucks, girl, I love you (I love you)
I mean I really, really, really love you
Hey, beautiful black girl
I love you
But more than I love you, I need you
I need your love, beautiful black girl
Love, love to me you're the living end
I would scream and yell and go through hell
Just to be your enemy's friend
Just to know someone who knows of you
Hear me well, hear me well
Hear me well, can't you tell, black girl
I love you
I mean more than a Beat love, honey (more)
More than a Miles love, honey (more)
More than a junkie love, stealth (more)
More than drum on love, stealth
And Chic love, the stealth
But more than all of these
More than all of these
More than all of these
I love you
And I mean it from the basement of my heart
To the balcony of my mind
Because, beautiful black girl
I love you
And I have dreams and visions of you all the time
Because I need you, too
And I love you so much (so much)
For your love
For your love
For your love
For your love
For your love, there's nothing I wouldn't do
Against myself
I said against myself
I would gladly fight just to keep from hurting you
Black queen
Black queen
Black queen, I mean you're my dream
My self-control
My heart and soul
My lifelong goal
My stomach quaking
My mind is blown
Each time I imagine I'm with you alone
Listen closely, love
Listen closely, love
Listen closely, love
Can't you hear my heart sounding and pounding?
Listen, love
Listen, love
Listen, love
Listen, love
To my dreams
As they scream to hold you close
And give you an overdose of love
Beautiful black girl
So, love
Love, please
Please tell me you'll be mine
And, love, don't say no
There's a tear in my eye
Please, girl
Hey, girl
Hey, girl, love, don't say no
You're gonna make me cry
And, love, don't
No, don't, don't
Don't leave me like this
Just one little kiss
Because you're so fine
You're so smart
Black girl woman
Queen of the universe
Love, if you wanted to
Woman, if you wanted to
Queen, if you wanted to
Love, if you wanted to
If you wanted to, love
If you wanted to
If you wanted to, love
If you wanted to
If you wanted to
You could catch God
