PAINT IT, BLACK
(Jagger/Richards)
I see my red door and I want it painted black
no colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
with flowers and my love both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
like a new born baby it just happens ev'ry day
no more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
if I look hard enough into the settin' sun
my love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
I see my red door and I want it painted black
no colors anymore I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
mmm, mmm, mmm...
yeah, I wanna see it painted!
