Black or White




I took my baby
On a Saturday bang
Boy is that girl with you
Yes we’re one and the same

Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle
Has happened tonight

But, if
You’re thinkin’
About my baby
It don’t matter if you’re
Black or white

They print my message
In the Saturday sun
I had to tell them
I ain’t second to none

And I told about equality
An it’s true
Either you’re wrong
Or you’re right

But, if
You’re thinkin’
About my baby
It don’t matter if you’re
Black or white

I am tired of this devil
I am tired of this stuff
I am tired of this business
Sew when the
Going gets rough
I ain’t scared of
Your brother
I ain’t scared of no sheets
I ain’t scare of nobody
Girl when the
Goin’ gets mean

Don’t tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

But, if
You’re thinkin’ about my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

I said if
You’re thinkin’ of
Being my baby
It don’t matter if you’re black or white

I said if
You’re thinkin’ of
Being my brother
It don’t matter if you’re
Black or white

Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now
Ooh, ooh
Yea, yea, yea now

It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you
To get by
It’s black , it’s white, whoo

It’s black, it’s white
It’s tough for you
To get by
It’s black , it’s white, whoo
