Black & White Lyrics

Blackstreet

Yeah, I have dreams of you and i
And those dreams that I dream
Its in black and white
1 - I dream in black and white
But I make love in color
Ooh, girl, youre body so tight
I wanna make you my lover
I dream in black and white
But I make love in color
Ooh, girl, youre bodys so right
I wanna make you my lover
My tease couldnt paint a better picture
Of a holy tipper, who praises for days
I know I make good love to you
Thats what I heard you say
Dont blame it on the paintbrush
You should blame it on the campus
Cuz these small time minds dont really understand us
Ooh, baby, yeah
Repeat 1
They said I broke the laws of motion
The way you made an image of me
But I got all seven seas open
Your third eye couldnt even see
But could you make a groan
So I could leave your first body alone
Girl, you got me in a zone
I said Im cryin out for more, oh
2 - dont touch there too much
Cuz I could get a little crazy
Its almost scandalous
Baby, can never wanna leave me
Repeat 1
Repeat 2
I dream in black and white
But I make love in color
Thats my style, baby
