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 see a line of cars And they're 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 newborn baby It just happens every day I look inside myself And see my heart is black I see my red door And must have it painted black Maybe then I'll fade away And not have to face the facts It's 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 want to see it painted Painted black Black as night Black as coal I want to see the Sun Blotted out from the sky I want to see it painted, painted, painted Painted black Yeah!

“Paint It Black” surgiu a partir de improvisações de Brian Jones ao tocar sitar, incorporando o instrumento de forma inédita em um single que liderou as paradas.
Foi o primeiro single a alcançar o topo das listas com sitar, influenciando o surgimento do psychedelic rock e ampliando o público desse instrumento tradicional indiano.
A gravação contou com a participação dos cinco membros dos Rolling Stones, embora apenas Mick Jagger e Keith Richards tenham sido creditados como compositores.
No Billboard Hot 100 dos EUA a faixa permaneceu 11 semanas, incluindo dois períodos como número 1, e também chegou ao topo da chart britânica por uma semana, totalizando seis nº 1s da banda até então.
Em 2018 a canção foi introduzida no Grammy Hall of Fame, reconhecendo seu valor histórico e artístico.
Desde seu lançamento, “Paint It Black” tem sido regravada por diversos artistas, incluída em múltiplas compilações dos Rolling Stones e usada em trilhas sonoras de filmes, mantendo sua presença em turnês da banda.
