Lyrics Eric Burdon – Paint It Black

Hmm, ah
I see a red door and I want to paint it black
No colors in my life, you better turn them black
I see them walking by dressed in their colorful clothes

Turn it black
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I said I know baby
Everything is black I know
Since you been gone
Everything is black before my eyes
Baby eh
Everything is black I know
Turn to me

And help me see again, baby
Help me walk once more
And help me talk again, walk again
Stand up like a man, baby
Since you been gone, gone
There is no color in my life, baby
Its turning so very very
?
black

Humph, I walk down the street
And I see a line of cars
Maybe blue, maybe brown, maybe green
But their turning black
Before my very eyes
And you could not know
What it’s like when your whole world is black
When everything you see and touch
Turns so very very black, hmm
Oh baby now
I need you by my side
Bring some color into my life
Once again
I even tripped down and fell
Didn’t see no colors anymore, baby
Bad, bad scene
And I have to tell you baby

No more will my grey sea go turn a deeper blue
I cannot foresee this thing ever happening to you
No!

I see people walking by me
They’re all going in different directions
I see them strolling by and my heart splinters like a flame
Turning black, baby
Turning black I know
Everything
Since you’ve been gone is turning black, turning black, turning black, turning black, turning black
Yeah yeah yeah yeah, baby
Oh lord, oh babe, whoa lord, help me see again, baby
Help me walk, talk, walk stand up like a man I know
Need you standing by my side
Because I’m blind and I cannot see
Color blind
I’m color blind
Paint everything so black
Go ahead and paint it black, baby
Everything is black black, black, its turning black I know
Need some color in my life…
