Painted Pictures Lyrics

[Verse 1: Rick James &

background singers

]

Love is not a color

You can paint black or white,

no, no

Picture that in your mind

Love is not a feeling

That you let go to at night,

no, no

Picture that in your mind

[Refrain 1:

background singers

]

You can play the game, you're so strong

You can say you're right when you're wrong

Still your life is just painted pictures

You can laugh when you want to cry

Say hello when you mean goodbye

Still your life is just painted pictures

[Chorus]

Painted pictures,

painted pictures

Painted pictures, painted pictures

[Verse 2: Rick James &

background singers

]

Love is not a candle

That you turn on like a light,

no, no

Picture that in your mindLove is not a collar

You can call wrong or right,

no, no

Picture that in your mind

[Refrain 2:

background singers

]

You can give the things you don't have

You can lose the things that you love

Still your life is just painted pictures

You can play you're straight when you're not

You can say you're cold when you're hot

Still your life is just painted pictures

[Refrain 3: Rick James &

background singers

]

Play you're good when you're bad

You can play you're good when you're bad

Say you're glad when you're sad

You can say you're glad when you're sad

Still your life is just painted, yeah

Still your life is just painted pictures

[Refrain 4: Rick James &

background singers

]

You can lose, yeah

You can lose when you want to win

You an die and be born again

You can die and be born again

Still, your life is painted

Still your life is just painted pictures, ooh-oh[Chorus]

Painted pictures,

painted pictures

Painted pictures,

painted pictures

[Refrain 5: Rick James &

background singers

]

You can play the game, you're so strong

Say you're right when you're wrong

You can say you're right when you're wrong

Still, your life is just painted

Still your life is just painted pictures

Oh-oh, oh yeah

[Refrain 6: Rick James &

background singers

]

You can laugh when you want to cry

You can laugh, ha ha

Say hello when you mean goodbye

Say hello

Still your life is just painted pictures, ooh-oh

[Outro: Rick James]

You can cry, you can listen...
