Black Woman

cocoa butter kisses wipe my tears away
I wanna feel you like cold water
dripping down my face
I wanna fly high
like the stars that I see
like the birds in the sky
like the birds in the sky
How do you reconcile, rectify,
free your mind
Bondage, they have me in shackles
How do you smile
when you got nothing to smile about
How do you love
when you got no one coming back to the house
Black woman
sometimes
sad woman
but all of the time
she’s a queen from another place
why are you so displaced
She’s a goddess walking on earth baby
Superwoman, power comes from the sun
Lovely woman, my only one
Mother of creation
all the nations
sing your praise without knowing
Black woman
sometimes
sad woman
but all of the time
she’s a queen from another place
why are you so displaced
She’s a goddess walking on earth baby~yeah~
How do you love, how do you love the way you do
What did I do to deserve you
Why do I always desert you
How do you feel
when they don’t feel for you
How do you love
when they don’t love you back
no~ ho~
sometime~
(How do you love, how do you love the way you do)
(How do you love, how do you love the way you do)
Oh~
How do you love, how do you love the way you do
