DARK BROWN EYES

I say I think you’re attractive
You look me up, look me down
I might as well be the invisible man
Cause you can’t see past my brown

And it’s a shame
I thought you’d be different
But you’re just more of the same
Do you know how it feels to be neglected
For something that you can’t change?

And I wonder…

If I had hazel eyes
If I had olive skin
Would you see me then?
Ooo, would you see me then?

You say you’re seeing somebody
But we both know that’s a lie
You say you think I’m attractive
But that I’m just not your type

And I know what that means 
I get it
I wasn’t born yesterday
Do you know how it feels to be rejected
For something that you can’t change?

And I wonder…

If I had light green eyes
And alabaster skin
Could you love me then?
Ooo, could you love me then?

Underneath my brown skin
I’ve got a heart inside
With your complexion so fair
How can you be so unkind?
With your clear eyes
How can you be so blind?

And I wonder…

If I had sky blue eyes
If I had peach rose skin
If I had golden hair
Could you love me then?

It’s a pity for you
You don’t know what your missing
I’m handsome in every way
I have beautiful skin
And beautiful eyes
But there is something I’d change…

I’d give you dark brown eyes
I’d give you dark brown skin
If you had ebony eyes
Would you see me then?

I’d give you dark brown eyes
I’d give you dark brown skin
If you had dark brown skin
Maybe you’d love me then

Ooo, could you love me then?
