Pretty Brown Skin

Roy Ayers

Yellow ribbons in your hair
Red and pink ones in the air
Looking back then, I remember
Your sweet childhood in December
Pretty brown skin, I've been wrong
Pretty brown skin, much too long
Pretty brown skin, please believe me
Pretty brown skin, please don't leave me
Yellow ribbons in your hair
Red and pink ones in the air
Looking back then, I remember
Your sweet childhood in December
Pretty brown skin, I'll be true
Pretty brown skin, true to you
Pretty brown skin, I'm so blue
Pretty brown skin, I love you

Yellow ribbons in your hair
Red and pink ones in the air
Looking back then, I remember
Your sweet childhood in December
Pretty brown skin, I've been wrong
Pretty brown skin, much too long
Pretty brown skin, please believe me
Pretty brown skin, please don't leave me
Pretty brown skin, now you know
With you, our love cannot show
'Cause it's covered by your skin
Beauty's not out, it's within
Pretty brown skin, I'll be true
Pretty brown skin, true to you
Pretty brown skin, I'm so blue
Pretty brown skin, I love you

Pretty brown skin, I love you
Pretty brown skin, I love you
Pretty brown skin, I love you
Pretty brown skin, I love you
Pretty brown skin, I love you
Pretty brown skin, I love you
Pretty brown skin, I love you
Pretty brown skin, I love you
Pretty brown skin, I love you
