See a red door and I want to paint it black
No colors in my life, you better turn them black
I see people walking by just dressed in their colorful clothes
I see them strolling by, my happiness just flows
No more will my gray sea turn a deeper blue
I cannot foresee this thing happening to you, no
I see people walking by dressed in their summer clothes
I see them strolling by, my happiness flows
Turn it black
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I said I know, baby
Everything is black, I know
Since you been gone
Everything is black before my eyes
Baby, hey
Everything is black, I know
Return to me
And help me see again, baby
Help me walk once more
And help me talk again, walk again
Stand up like a man, baby
Since you been gone, gone
There is no color in my life, baby
It's turning so very, very bone-black
Hmm, I walk down the street
And I see a line of cars
Maybe blue, maybe brown, maybe green
But they're turning black
Before my very eyes
And you could not know
What it's like when your whole world is black
When everything you see and touch
Turns so very, very black, mm
Oh, baby, now
I need you by my side
Bring some color into my life
Once again
I even tripped down and fell
Didn't see no colors anymore, baby
Bad, bad scene
And I have to tell you, baby
No more will my gray sea go turn a deeper blue
I cannot foresee this thing ever happening to you, no
I see people walking by me, they're all going in different directions
I see them strolling by and my heart splinters like a flame
Turning black, baby
Turning black I know, everything
Since you've been gone, is turning black
Turning black, turning black
Turning black, turning black
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, baby
Oh, Lord, oh, babe, whoa, Lord, help me see again, baby
Help me walk, talk, walk, stand up like a man I know
Need you standing by my side
Because I'm blind and cannot see, babe
Color-blind
I'm color-blind
Paint everything so black
Go ahead and paint it black, baby
Everything is black, black, black, it's turning black, I know
Yeah, yeah, now, need some color in my life
Nah-nah-nah, baby
Yeah, yeah, whoa
