Run And Tell That

Hey!

I can't see why people look at me

They only see the color of my face

Oh, yeah, then there's those that try to help, God knows

But always have to put me in my place

But 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 chocolate, the richer the taste

And that's where it's at

Now, baby, run and tell that

Now run and tell that

Run and tell that

Run and tell that

Hey, yeah!

I can't see why people disagree

Each time I tell 'em what I know is true, oh, no

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

Blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

I could say it ain't so, but darlin', what's the use?

The darker the chocolate, the richer the taste

And that's where it's at

Oh, baby, baby, run and tell that

Run and tell that

Go run and tell that

Run and tell that

Come on and run and tell that

Run and tell that

Hey, run and tell

Go tell

Run and tell that

Hey!

Yeah, yeah, yeah!

Hey, whoo!

Come here, girl

This is my sister, little Inez

Oh, I know Tracy Turnblad

Good for you, girl, you got on the show

-Well, you better be next -Ya got that right -

Oh, you know she is, you better show 'em, girl

I'm tired of converin' up all my pride

So give me five on the black hand side

I got a new wat of movin' and I got my own voice

So how can I help but to shout and rejoice

Oh, the people 'round here can barely pay their rent

They try to make a dollar outta fifteen cent

But we got a spirit money just can't buy

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

Hey, I can't see the reason it can't be

The kinda world where we all get our chance

Ah, yeah

The time is now

So we can show 'em how just turn the music up

And let's all dance, yeah, yeah

'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 chocolate, the richer the taste

And that's where it's at

Now, baby, baby, baby, run and tell that

Run and tell that

Run and tell that

Ah, yeah, baby, run and tell that

Go run and tell that

G-g-g-g-go and run and tell that

Yeah, yeah!
