Ooh

 Ooh ooh ooh

 Ooh ooh ooh

 Ooh ooh woo!

 I can't see why people

 Look at me and only see the color of my face

 And then there's those that try to

 Help, god knows, but have to always put me in my place

 Now 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 choc'late

 The richer the taste

 And that's where it's at...

 ... now run and tell

that!!

 (Run and tell that!)

Run and tell

that!

 (Run and tell that!)

I can't see why people

 Disagree each time i tell them what i know is true

 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...

 The blacker the berry

 The sweeter the juice

 I could say it ain't so

 But darlin', what's the use

 The darker the choc'late

 The richer the taste

 That's where it's at

 Woo! Now run and tell

that!!

 (Run and tell that!)

Run and tell

that!!

 (Run and tell that!)

 Now run and tell

that!!

 (Run and tell that!)

 Now run and tell

that!!

 I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride

 So give me five on the black hand side

 I've got a new way of movin' and i got my own voice

 So how can i help but to shout and rejoice

 The people 'round here can barely pay their rent

 They're "try'n to make a dollar outta fifteen cent"

 But we got a spirit money just cant buy

 It's deep as a river and soars to the sky!

I cant see the reason

 It can't be the kinda world where we all get our chance

 The time is now and we can

 Show them how to turn the music up and let's all dance

 '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 choc'late

 The richer the taste

 That's where it's at

 Woo! Now run and tell

that!!

 (Run and tell that!)

 Now run and tell

that!!

 (Run and tell that!)

 Now run and tell

that!!

 (Run and tell that!)

 Now run and tell

 that!!
