Lyrics
Black is the colour,
The colour of my lover’s hair,
Black as iv’ry
And shining like ebony.

Brown is the color,
The colour of my lover’s eyes,
Brown as a berry
And shining like a cherry tree.

Black, black, the shining black hair,
Brown, brown her eyes will stare,
But those lies, those lies, those lies,
Those lies are white.

CHORUS
White lies, white lies,
Not nice lies, a cover-up to make me blue,
The artificial tears that she cries
Aren’t meant for me but you.

Gold is the colour,
The colour of my lover’s ring,
Gold on her finger
And shining like a pretty thing.

Gold, gold it’s shining so bright,
Gold ring a pretty sight,
But those lies, those lies, those lies,
Those lies are white.

CHORUS

Gold is the colour,
The colour of my lover’s band,
Gold on her finger,
But you wouldn’t understand
That the ring she’s wearing,
So shining new,
Isn’t meant for me but you,
Meant for me but you. (2)
