Corinne Bailey Rae - The Blackest Lily Lyrics

I didn't know what the day was
I didn't know what time it was
I didn't know what my heart would do
I was afraid of nothing when you called me on the telephone
I was creature of appetites
We played a game that you didn't like
There wasn't nothing that I couldn't do
I can be so bad,
I can be so bad

just took it away and we broke it in two

Color my heart, color my heart
Make it restart, make it restart
Color my heart, I want it more than I ever knew
The blackest lily, the blackest pony
Won't protect my heart from you

You were unnerving and delicate
And I weakness for etiquette
You laid a trail that led straight to your door
And I could resist but it was hard to endure

Color my heart, color my heart
Make it restart, make it restart
Color my heart, I want it more than I ever knew
The blackest lily, the blackest pony
Won't protect my heart from you

I didn't know what the day it was
I didn't know what the time it was
I didn't know what my heart would do
And I was afraid of nothing when you called me on the telephone

Color my heart, color my heart
Make it restart, make it restart
Color my heart, I want it more than I ever knew
The blackest lily, the blackest pony
Won't protect my heart from you

Couldn't you see a colab with john meyer?

Amazing Band!

luke flowers' pocket is deep as fuck

Corinne is a genius. The drummer is a good drummer. There are (fortunately) hundreds of good drummers around..

Feels like I got tossed wayyyy back...it feels good too. ♥

You know MKJunkie, I, for example, can appreciate many sorts of music, styles, genres (whatever labels and names people give to it now days) just like Soul/R&B etc. as well as Heavy Metal. You calling it "crap" just seems prejudice and that you don't even know what real heavy metal (banging on drums andjust smashing the guitar don't count) is or else you wouldn't refer to it like that. So, if you don't "like" a certain style make sure you get to know itbefore talking about it. Respect DIVERSITY

everyone in this video is so immensely talented! <33 mad respect!

They're so brilliant, not just Corinne, but all of them. That drummer just smashed it!

I love her hair mines is the same its just shorter cant wait till it gets that long

pullll uppppp

Woo, this is awesome & I love his "voice"...fabulous!!

This performance was AWESOME!!

she is sex personified.

yea this is really good i love it

@MissKittyJunkie I am offended. i love Heavy Metal, soul, rhythm and blues, and jazz......why you got to dis metal.....thats not cool.

雰囲気いいですね

I want to make a caramel colored baby with her

FUK VEVO

@MissKittyJunkie One day you'll step out of that box that you house yourself in and get out of that blacks on this side and whites on the other mentality and realize that most music today are hybrids and blends of different genres. How you interpret her soulful voice as heavy metal speaks volumes about your level of intelligence and how much you actually venture out of house in a given week. She didn't TURN to anything, this biracial woman stands exactly where she's always been from birth..

@MissKittyJunkie do you realize how stupid you sound bashing a whole genre of music?? and its not like im a metal head either

gotta love that drum solo

niceeee

@MissKittyJunkie well said!
