Lyrics
Need Color
Music by Bobby Quick
Lyrics by Bobby Quick and Tom Terrill
I like to watch my favorite shows,
But the old ones have to go,
I can?t stand a world that?s stuck
In black and white
It?s so strange, everything is opaque gray
Never seen life look that way
I?m glad it?s false, I?m glad it?s
Not reality
I don?t need pretense
Give me real substance
I just need color
Need color
Do you still look the old way
Is your life still stuck in gray
Can you open your eyes and tell me what
Day this is
And do you still use the verbal knife
Funny how art can imitate life
I?ll take my crayons
And go out and play
I don?t need pretense
Give me real substance
I just need color
Need color
I had to watch my favorite show
To tell you the new one really blows
I can?t stand this world that?s
Stuck in black and white
I don?t need pretense
Give me real substance
I just need color
Need color
