Horace Faith - Black Pearl Lyrics

Ooh, Black Pearl, precious, little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
You've been in the background much too long
You've been working so hard your whole life through
Tending other people's houses, raising up their children too
How about something for me and you?
Here in my arms, you're gonna reign supreme
No more servin', they've got to serve my queen
It's our turn to happiness and our day has come
Living for each other's and answering to no one
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
You've been in the background much too long
Together we stand so brave and so tall
Created by love to love one and all
Heart-to-heart and soul to soul
No other one can ever take your place
My world is built around every smile that's on your face
You'll never win a beauty show, no, they won't need you
But you're my Miss Phenomenal and I love you
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
'Cause I love you, Black Pearl, precious, little girl
You've been in the background much too long
Ooh, Black Pearl, precious, little girl
You've been in the background much too long
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
'Cause I love you
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
Let me put you up where you belong

Ooh, Black Pearl, precious, little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
You've been in the background much too long
You've been working so hard your whole life through
Tending other people's houses, raising up their children too
How about something for me and you?
Here in my arms, you're gonna reign supreme
No more servin', they've got to serve my queen
It's our turn to happiness and our day has come
Living for each other's and answering to no one
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
You've been in the background much too long
Together we stand so brave and so tall
Created by love to love one and all
Heart-to-heart and soul to soul
No other one can ever take your place
My world is built around every smile that's on your face
You'll never win a beauty show, no, they won't need you
But you're my Miss Phenomenal and I love you
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
'Cause I love you, Black Pearl, precious, little girl
You've been in the background much too long
Ooh, Black Pearl, precious, little girl
You've been in the background much too long
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
'Cause I love you
Black Pearl, precious, little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
