Beautiful Black Girl - Quincy Jones, The Watts Prophets

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

Friends tell me I should seek only the solution to the Revolution

But my life is staging its own Revolution trying free itself of the chains of

loneliness

And my heart is begging for a chance

Knocking on the door romance

I’m a poet, but poets need love too

I do

I need a beautiful Black sister just like you

Who is so aware

So let me show you that I care

And touch your warm ebony skin

Be your life time friend

Guide my fingers through your natural hair

And give you a love beyond compare

Because shucks girl I love you

I mean I really really really love you

Hey beautiful Black girl

I love you

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 bee loves honey

More than a miser loves money

More than a junkie loves stuff

More than Grandma loves snuff and she loves the stuff

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

For your love

For your love

For your love

For your love there is 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 quake and 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 and

Sounding and pounding and

Sounding and pounding

Listen love

Listen love

Listen love

Listen love to my dream as they scream to hold you close

And give you and overdose of love beautiful Black girl

For love love please please tell me you’ll be mine

My love don’t say no there’s a tear in my eye

Hey girl hey girl love don’t say no you gonna make me cry

Love don’t love don’t don’t don’t leave me like this

Just on little kiss

Because you’re so fine and you’re so smart

Black girl woman

Queen of the Universe

Love if you want 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 love

If you wanted to

You could catch GOD
