You Can't Tell the Difference After Dark - Alberta Hunter

Look what the sun has done to me

It seems there’s no more fun to me

Why must all the boys act so shy?

I have guessed the reason why

I may be as brown as a berry

But that’s only secondary

And you can’t tell the difference

After dark

I may not be so appealing

But I’ve got that certain feeling

And you can’t tell the difference

After dark

They say that gentlemen

Prefer the blond haired ladies

Tell me am I out of style

Just because I’m slightly shady?

Wait until I’ve won you

And my love drops down upon you

You can’t tell the difference

After dark

Ah, go for yourself now

Beat it on out there boy

Look out, Fats Waller

Mm, I may be as brown as a berry

But that’s only secondary

You can’t tell the difference

After dark

I may not be so appealing

Mm, but I’ve got that certain feeling

And you can’t tell the difference

After dark

They say that gentlemen

Prefer the blond haired ladies

Tell me, tell me am I out of style

Just because I’m slightly shady?

Wait until I’ve won you

And my love drops down upon you

You can’t tell the difference

After dark

Yeah, man
