Black Pearl Lyrics By Sonny Charles And The Checkmates Ltd

    ooh hoo
    yeah yeah yeah
    my my my my

    black pearl precious little girl
    let me put you up where you belong
    black pearl pretty little girl
    you been in the background much too long

    you been working so hard your whole life through
    tending other people’s houses raising up their children too
    hey how about something for me and you
    here in my arms you’re gonna reign supreme
    no more serving 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
    ’cause 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 woman 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

    black pearl precious little girl
    let me put you up where you belong
    i need you
    black pearl pretty little girl
    you been in the background much too long

    ooh hoo yeah yeah yeah
    my my my my babe
    you know i need you
    you know i want to keep you for myself
    and i don’t want nobody else
    now baby i love you
    you know i need you
    you know i got to got to
    got to have you baby
