Teena Marie, Alia Rose - High Yellow Girl lyrics
[Teena Marie, Alia Rose - High Yellow Girl lyrics]
Everybody says that you're so beautiful
From the inside to the out my precious jewel
I hope that I can give you
All the love you need
I'd lay down my life for ya baby, yes indeed
High Yellow girl
Golden lady fair, with hair, like lamb's wool
High yellow child
So familiar to me, like the river Nile
I lie awake at night sometimes
My eyes get full
How did I deserve such love from an angel
Oh, the lovely simple thangs
Your soul rushing
The sun rises and sets on ya baby, blessed be
High yellow girl skin like clover honey
Eyes like mother's soul high yellow child
One half dark like daddy
One half mama bright
So familiar to me (you look like me)
Your smile
It reminds me of every aromatic saffron
High yellow child, Yellow child high
Patiently, I waited, for so long, I prayed
And my sweet Jesus sent me
You on Christmas day
Last night I picked up my guitar
Chile I'm feelin you
What can I give to my daughter, hey y'all
Tell the truth
High yellow girl
Golden lady fair, with hair like lamb's wool
High yellow child
So familiar through me, like the river Nile
So familiar to me, your smile
It reminds me of aromatic saffron
High yellow child, Yellow child high
They call here Mello Yellow
Cuz her skin is caramel
They call her Mellow Yellow
Cuz her skin is caramel high Yellow child
(Alia:) I got a little
Sister named brown sugar (Teena:)?
My babies don't have to cry
I lay down my life (Alia:) I love you Mommy
(Teena:) Love you too baby
(Alia:) High yellow cinnamon, red boned
Chocolate ebony, brown sugar
High yellow cinnamon, red boned, chocolate
Ebony, brown sugar, sugar, sugar
From the inside to the out my precious jewel
I hope that I can give you
All the love you need
I'd lay down my life for ya baby, yes indeed
High Yellow girl
Golden lady fair, with hair, like lamb's wool
High yellow child
So familiar to me, like the river Nile
I lie awake at night sometimes
My eyes get full
How did I deserve such love from an angel
Oh, the lovely simple thangs
Your soul rushing
The sun rises and sets on ya baby, blessed be
High yellow girl skin like clover honey
Eyes like mother's soul high yellow child
One half dark like daddy
One half mama bright
So familiar to me (you look like me)
Your smile
It reminds me of every aromatic saffron
High yellow child, Yellow child high
Patiently, I waited, for so long, I prayed
And my sweet Jesus sent me
You on Christmas day
Last night I picked up my guitar
Chile I'm feelin you
What can I give to my daughter, hey y'all
Tell the truth
High yellow girl
Golden lady fair, with hair like lamb's wool
High yellow child
So familiar through me, like the river Nile
So familiar to me, your smile
It reminds me of aromatic saffron
High yellow child, Yellow child high
They call here Mello Yellow
Cuz her skin is caramel
They call her Mellow Yellow
Cuz her skin is caramel high Yellow child
