Run And Tell That (from Hairspray) sing and play along

Ooh. Oohoohooh.

Oohoohooh. Oohoohwoo!

I can't see why people look at me and only see the color of my face.

And then there's those that try to help,

God knows, but have to always put me in my place.

Now I won't ask you to be colorblind,

'cause if you pick the can fruit then,

girl, you're sure to find...

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.

I could say it ain't so,

but, darlin', what's the use?

The darker the choc'late, the richer the taste.

And that's where it's at...

...now run and tell that!

(Run and tell that!)

Run and tell that!

(Run and tell that!)

I can't see why people disagree each time I tell them what I know is true.

And if you come and see the world I'm from,

I bet your heart is gonna feel it,

too. Yeah, I could lie, but,

baby, let's be bold.

'cause if Vanilla can be but if the truth be told...

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.

I could say it ain't so,

but, darlin', what's the use?

The darker the choc'late, the richer the taste.

And that's where it's at...

...now run and tell that!

(Run and tell that!)

Run and tell that!

(Run and tell that!)

that!) Now run and tell that!

(Run and tell that!)

Now run and tell that!

I'm tired of cov'rin' up all my pride.

So give me five on the blackhand side.

I've got a new way of movin' and I got my own voice.

So how can I help but to shout and rejoice?

The people 'round here can barely pay their rent.

They're "try'n' to make a dollar outta fifteen cent."

But we got a spirit money just can't buy.

It's deep as a river and soars to the sky!

I can't see the reason it can't be the kinda world where we all get our chance.

The time is now, and we can show them how to turn the music up and let's all dance.

'Cause all things are equal when it comes to love.

Well, that ain't quite true, 'cause when push comes to shove...

The blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice.

I could say it ain't so,

but, darlin', what's the use?

The darker the choc'late, the richer the taste.

And that's where it's at...

Woo! ...now run and tell that!

(Run and tell that!)

Now run and tell that!

(Run and tell that!)

That!
