Ebony angel with a golden crown
lips of rose and the skin of brown
elegant flower I have found you now
and you are a star

In your eyes I see the jade and stone
emerald tears, but so beautiful
sweeter than everything I’ve known
heiress to the throne
that is what you are

But how do I let you know
Girl the love that you’ve got is gold?
How can I make you see,
That you are a star
Mahogany?

Nubian lover with the braided heart
for my fire you are the spark
you are the phoenix rising from the dark
supernova star

You’re every color in a sky rainbow
caramel, lime and the sun yellow
sweeter than candy-covered soul
vision to behold
and you’ve come so far

But how do I let you know
girl the love that you’ve got is gold?
how can I make you see,
that you are a star
Mahogany?

Cashmere, suede
lady marmalade
ice and pink champagne
Sophisticated

Powerful
silver eyeshadow
sparkle, glitter gold
A star, creole

I know that I want ya
I know that I feel ya
how can I meet ya?
just fall on me

I know that I love ya
I know that I need ya
how can reach you
Mahogany?
