Black, pink, yellow, and purple
How much do you really love me?
Not the fairytale type of love
But the curled up on the couch type of love
The good morning whispers type of love
The sugar-is-sweet type of love
So are you

Black, pink, yellow, and purple
Would you paint your nails for me?
Everyone wears rings, and
Everyone removes them so easily

Black, pink, yellow, and purple
Would you paint if I was sick? Grossly sick? To the point
Where I have bubbles of boogers bursting beyond belief?
Would you paint if I couldn't sing? Or write?
If I had no way of showing you my love?
If I was no longer beautiful to only you?
What if the world loved me? What if I loved me?
Would you still paint?

Black, pink, yellow, and purple
Would you paint your nails for me?
I’ll let you choose whichever color you want
Blood red, ocean blue, plum purple
Can’t name a color you don’t look good in
Besides, it's not like it lasts that long

Black, pink, yellow, and purple
But what if it did?
What if when it wears off in two weeks
You painted them again?
I thought it was sweet
