Black Is Black
Music & lyrics by: M. Grainger, S. Wadey,   T. Hayes
Originally recorded by: Los Bravos

Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, whoa-whoa
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I'm, I'm feelin' blue

If I had my way
She'd be back today
But she don't intend
To see me again, whoa-whoa
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I'm, I'm feelin' blue

I can't choose
It's too much to lose
My love's too strong
Wow, maybe if she would come back to me
Then it can't go wrong

Bad is bad
That I feel so sad
It's time, it's time
That I found peace of mind, whoa-whoa
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I'm, I'm feelin' blue

Black is black
I want my baby back
It's gray, it's gray
Since she went away, whoa-whoa
What can I do
'Cause I-I-I-I'm, I'm feelin' blue
'Cause I-I-I-I'm, I'm feelin' blue
