I came into the world and started to scream
My baby dress made me cry
And my father spoke of a curse
They wrapped me in a black baby cloth
Because they suddenly realized
I need it black, black like the night
I need the dark, light isn't made for me
I want it black, I want the night
I want the dark and what it does to me
My parents constantly sent me to the doctor
They saw only black for my future
My mother despaired, my father started to freak out
They just couldn't understand me
Or how I see in the dark
I need it black, black like the night
I need the dark, light isn't made for me
I want it black, I want the night
I want the dark and what it does to me
And what it does to me, and what it does to me
My humor is black, black like coffee
Black is beautiful, makes you slim
Do you see how the stars sparkle?
They only do that in the dark
Only sometimes it hurts a little
When I see my parents
I need it black, black like the night
I need the dark, light isn't made for me
I want it black, I want the night
I want the dark and what it does to me
I need it black, black like the night
I need the dark, light isn't made for me
I want it black, I want the night
I want the dark, I want you and what you do to me
And what you do to me
Don't always see everything in black and white, black is enough
