Black pearl, precious little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
Black pearl little girl
You been in the background much too long
You been working so hard your whole life through
Tendin' other people’s houses
Raisin' up their children too
Hey how about something for me and you
Here in my arms you’re gonna reign supreme
No more servin' 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
Because 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 one 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
