           F 
I paint my nails black 
           Dm                    Bb

Cause you like your women spanish dark strong and proud 
           F 
You paint the sky black 
           Dm 
You said if you could have your way 
           Bb 
You'd make a nighttime want today 
                 F             C 
So it'd suit the mood of your soul 
Bb       C     Dm  C

I keep my lips red

To seem like cherries in the spring
