Color of the Mood Lyrics by Dave Loggins

One Way Ticket to Paradise

0

And she said, "I wish I knew more about what to do with you
I've only known you a short while"
And she said, "I had no trouble tellin' myself to give my love to you
But I need to know what makes you laugh and why you cry
So tell me about your every side"
Well, I'm a man, I'm not an illusion
I'm just a rainbow of confusion
I can show you how to tell
If you'll listen, I will color myself
If I'm black (I'm black), I'm black
And there's anger on my back
And if I'm red, my soul is on fire
Mmm, but if I'm white (I'm white), it's alright
There's a halo hoverin' 'round my head tonight
And you'll know me by the color of the mood I'm in
If you want to know me
Well, you'll know me by the color of the mood I'm in
And she said, "Well, I'm beginning to understand more about what you're saying
And it's only taken me a short while"
And she said, "I just need to feel more secure, a little more like stayin'
But I need to know how to handle the hurt and not hurt the pride
So tell me about your every side"
Well, I'm a man of imagination
I got a colorful explanation
To show you how to tell
If you'll listen, I will color myself
If I'm green (I'm green), it's an envious feeling
Or maybe something made me ill
And blue, I'll be sad down to the bone
Oh, and if I'm yellow, I'm a sunshine fellow
I'll be singing such a mellow song to you
And you'll know me by the color of the mood I'm in
Oh, and if I'm black (I'm black), I'm black
There'll be anger on my back
And if I'm red, I said my soul is on fire, mmm-hmm
But if one day, I turn a pale, pale gray
Call 'em and tell 'em to carry me away
'Cause you'll know me by the color of the mood I'm in
If you want to know me
You'll know me by the color of the mood I'm in
Mmm-hmm, alright now
(You'll know me by the color of the mood)
You're gonna know me (You'll know me)
By the color of the mood I'm in
(You'll know me by the color of the mood)
You're gonna know me (You'll know me)
By the color of the mood I'm in
(You'll know me by the color of the mood)
You're gonna know me (You'll know me)
By the color of the mood I'm in
(You'll know me by the color of the mood)
The color of the mood (You'll know me)
The color of the mood I'm in
(You'll know me by the color of the mood)
It's all about the mood (You'll know me)
You'll know, you'll know me, you'll know me
(You'll know me by the color of the mood)
The color of the mood (You'll know me)
You'll know me, you'll know me, you'll know me
(You'll know me by the color of the mood)
The color of my mood (You'll know me)
You'll know me
