Black or White Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I took my baby on a Saturday bang
Is that girl with you?
Yeah, we're one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle has happened tonight, yes
But if you're think you're gonna be my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
[Verse 2]
They print my message in the Saturday Sun
I had to tell them, I ain't second to none
And I told 'em 'bout equality
And it's true, either you're wrong or you're right, yeah
But, if you're think you're gonna be my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
Yeah
[Bridge]
I'm tired of this devil
I'm tired of this stuff
I'm tired of this business
So 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
Go when the going gets mean
I took my baby on a Saturday bang
Is that girl with you?
Yeah, we're one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle has happened tonight, yes
But if you're think you're gonna be my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
[Verse 2]
They print my message in the Saturday Sun
I had to tell them, I ain't second to none
And I told 'em 'bout equality
And it's true, either you're wrong or you're right, yeah
But, if you're think you're gonna be my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white
Yeah
[Bridge]
I'm tired of this devil
I'm tired of this stuff
I'm tired of this business
So 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
Go when the going gets mean
[Verse 3]
Protection for gangs, clubs and nations
Causing grief in human relations
It's a turf war on a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, it's not about races
Just places, faces
Where your blood comes from is where your space is
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not gonna spend my life being a color
[Outro]
Don't tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
But if you're thinking of being my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white, yeah
Yeah, if you're thinking of being my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white, ah
Lord, if you wanna boogie with me
It don't matter if you're black or white, yeah
Or brown, yellow, orange, purple
I'll have relations with girls from every nation
And run a train that's bound for glory
It's a great day a-comin', great day a-comin'
Protection for gangs, clubs and nations
Causing grief in human relations
It's a turf war on a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, it's not about races
Just places, faces
Where your blood comes from is where your space is
I've seen the bright get duller
I'm not gonna spend my life being a color
[Outro]
Don't tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye
But if you're thinking of being my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white, yeah
Yeah, if you're thinking of being my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white, ah
Lord, if you wanna boogie with me
It don't matter if you're black or white, yeah
Or brown, yellow, orange, purple
I'll have relations with girls from every nation
And run a train that's bound for glory
It's a great day a-comin', great day a-comin'
