PETER AND GORDON

Black is the colour The colour of my lover's hair Black as ivory Shinin' like ebony Brown is the colour The colour of my lover's eyes Brown as a berry Shinin' like a cherry tree Black, black, the shinin' black hair Brown, brown, her eyes were starin' But those lies, those lies, those lies They're white, white lies White lies are not nice lies A cover-up to make me blue The artificial tears that she cries Aren't meant for me but you Gold, gold shinin' so bright Gold brick, a pretty sight But those lies, those lies, those lies They're white, white lies White lies are not nice lies A cover-up to make me blue The artificial tears that she cries Aren't meant for me but you Gold is the colour The colour of my lover's band Gold on her finger But you wouldn't understand The ring she's wearin' So shiny and new Is worn for me but you Meant for me but you Meant for me but you
