Hey!
I can't see why people look at me
They only see the color of my face
Oh, yeah, then there's those that try to help, God knows
But always have to put me in my place
But I won't ask you to be color-blind
'Cause if you pick the fruit then, girl, you're sure to find
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so, but darlin', what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Now, baby, run and tell that
Now run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Hey, yeah!
I can't see why people disagree
Each time I tell 'em what I know is true, oh, no
And if you come
And see the world I'm from
I bet your heart is gonna feel it, too, yeah
I could lie, but baby, let's be bold
Vanilla can be nice
But if the truth be told
Blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so, but darlin', what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Oh, baby, baby, run and tell that
Run and tell that
Go run and tell that
Run and tell that
Come on and run and tell that
Run and tell that
Hey, run and tell
Go tell
Run and tell that
Hey!
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
Hey, whoo!
Come here, girl
This is my sister, little Inez
Oh, I know Tracy Turnblad
Good for you, girl, you got on the show
-Well, you better be next -Ya got that right -
Oh, you know she is, you better show 'em, girl
I'm tired of converin' up all my pride
So give me five on the black hand side
I got a new wat of movin' and I got my own voice
So how can I help but to shout and rejoice
Oh, the people 'round here can barely pay their rent
They try to make a dollar outta fifteen cent
But we got a spirit money just can't buy
It's deep as a river and soars to the sky, to the sky!
Hey, I can't see the reason it can't be
The kinda world where we all get our chance
Ah, yeah
The time is now
So we can show 'em how just turn the music up
And let's all dance, yeah, yeah
'Cause all things are equal when it comes to love
Well, that ain't quite true, 'cause when push comes to shove
The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice
I could say it ain't so, but darlin', what's the use?
The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste
And that's where it's at
Now, baby, baby, baby, run and tell that
Run and tell that
Run and tell that
Ah, yeah, baby, run and tell that
Go run and tell that
G-g-g-g-go and run and tell that
Yeah, yeah!
