PAINT IT BLACK I see my red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I see a line of cars and theyre all painted black With flowers and my love both never to come back I see people turn their heads and quickly look away Like a new born baby it just happens every day I look inside myself and see my heart is black I see my red door, I must have it painted black Maybe then Ill fade away and not have to face the facts Its not easy facin up when your whole world is black No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue I could not foresee this thing happening to you If I look hard enough into the settin sun My love will laugh with me before the mornin comes I see a red door and I want it painted black No colors anymore I want them to turn black I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes I have to turn my head until my darkness goes I wanna see your face, painted black Black as night, black as coal I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black Yeah! .................................................................................................................... Paint It Black is a song released by The Rolling Stones on 13 May 1966 as the first single from the US version of their fourth album Aftermath. Although originally titled without a comma, the release version was styled Paint It, Black. Keith Richards has stated that the comma was added by the record label, Decca,and that the comma stirred confusion and potential controversy with some listeners: There were some weird letters, racial letters. Was there a comma in the title? Was it an order to the world? The song was written by Mick Jagger and Keith Richards Jagger wrote the lyrics and Richards wrote the music. Bill Wyman states in his books that the song was a group effort although it was credited to Jagger/Richards.[citation needed] The single reached number one in both the United States and the UK Singles Chart in 1966. In 2004 it was ranked number 176 on Rolling Stone magazines list of the 500 Greatest Songs of All Time. In the US and UK, it was the first number one single to feature a sitar.
