Run And Tell That

Hey, I can't see
 Why people look at me
 And only see the color of my face
 Oh, yeah
 And 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!
 (Run and tell that!) Oh, sugar
 Run and tell that!
 (Run and tell that!)
 Hey, yeah
 I can't see
 Why people disagree
 Each time I tell them what I know is true
 No, no
 If you could
 See the world I'm from
 I bet your heart is gonna feel it too
 Yeah
 Now, I could lie
 But baby, let's be bold
 Vanilla can be nice
 But if the truth be told...
 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, woah... (woah!)
 Baby, baby run and tell that!
 (Run and tell that!) Oh, sugar
 Go run and tell that!
 (Run and tell that!) Keep-keep-keep goin'
 Go run and tell that!
 (Go run and tell that!) Hey, yea-yea-yeah
 Go tell, go tell (Run and tell that!)
 Keep moving, baby, run and tell that!

 Come here, girl
 This is my sister, Li'l Inez
 Oh, I know Tracy Turnblad
 Good for you girl, you got on the show!
 Oh, you better be next!
 You got that right!
 Oh, you know she is!
 You better show 'em, girl!
 I'm tired of coverin' up all my pride
 (So give me five on the black-hand side)
 I've got a new way 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're try'n to make a dollar
 Out 'a fifteen cent
 But we got a spirit
 Money just can't buy
 It's deep as a river
 It soars to the sky, to the sky!
 Oh, I can't see
 The reason it can't be
 The kinda world where we all get our chance
 Oh, yeah
 (The time is now)
 So we can show them how to
 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 a 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!
 Oh, babe (Run and tell that!)
 Go run and tell that!
 Keep-keep-keep going girl, go run and tell that!
