lyrics

If all I was was black
Looking at you
You might look past

All the love I give
(Got love to give)
I've got natural gifts
(Got natural gifts)
Got a perspective
(Got a perspective)
Might make yours shift
(The way you look at it)
I've got love
I've got love

If all I did was cry
If all the feeling got left behind

I'd worry about you
(What's in your mind)
I'd never live my life
(I'd be wasting my time)
Oh I won't be afraid
(I won't be afraid)
If that's how you want to stay
(How you want to stay)
I've got love
I've got love

If all I was was black
Don't you want to know me
More than that

All the love I give
(Got love to give)
I've got natural gifts
(Got natural gifts)
I've got a perspective
(Got a perspective)
Might make yours shift
(Might make yours shift)
I've got love
I've got love

And it's time for more love
Oh it's time for more love
