Black pearl, precious little girl
Let me put you up where you belong
Black pearl, precious 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
How about something for me and you?
Here in my arms you're gonna reign supreme (Reign supreme)
No more servin', they're gonna serve my queen (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
'Cause I love you
Black pearl, precious 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
Heart to heart; and soul to soul
No other one could ever take your place (Take your place)
My world is built around the very smile that's on your face (On you 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 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
You been in the background much too long
