I Look Better in Black

Verse 1

He said “don’t wear black tonight”

So I wore it twice

Jet black dress, lips the same

Yeah I look like trouble in your name

Said I’d be prettier in white

But I dim in that light

You tried to change my shade

Now I’m everything you couldn’t take

Pre-Chorus

You wanted something easy

I’m not that kinda pretty

Chorus

I look better in black

Now I’m not holding back

Every look that you used to hate

Yeah I’m wearing that

I look better in black

Got my confidence back

Now I’m dancing like I never cared

If you wanted that

You said I was too much, too bold

Too dark for your world

But I finally see what I lack—

Was you

I look better in black

Post-Chorus

Black… black… head to toe, all black

Don’t call me back, don’t call me back

Black… black… yeah I’m dressed like that

He didn’t like it, now I love that

Verse 2

You’d complain about my vibe

Said I crossed every line

But I never felt more right

Than the night you said goodbye

Now I walk in, lights flash

All the things you couldn’t have

Funny how I shine so bright

In the color that you’d fight

Pre-Chorus

You tried to redesign me

Now look what you made me

Chorus

I look better in black

Now I’m not holding back

Every look that you used to hate

Yeah I’m wearing that

I look better in black

Got my confidence back

Now I’m dancing like I never cared

If you wanted that

You said I was too much, too bold

Too dark for your world

But I finally see what I lack—

Was you

I look better in black

Bridge

Black dress, black heels, black lips

New night, new vibe, no scripts

No rules, no you, no stress

I don’t need your “yes”

Final Chorus

I look better in black

Yeah I’m owning all that

Every version you tried to change

Yeah I doubled that

I look better in black

Never taking it back

Now I’m everything you couldn’t hold

And I’m good with that

You said I was too much, too bold

Too dark for your world

Now I finally know where I’m at—

On top

I look better in black
