Black or White

Ow!

Ow!

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

Hee!

But if you're thinking about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

Ooh!

They print my message in the Saturday sun

I had to tell 'em I ain't second to none

And I told 'em about equality

And it's true, either you're wrong or you're right

Hoo!

But if you're thinking about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

Hoo!

Hee-hee!

I am tired of this devil

I am tired of this stuff

I am 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 scared of nobody

Girl, when the going gets mean

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 going to spend my life being a color

Don't tell me you agree with me

When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

Hee-hee!

But if you're thinking about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

I said if you're thinking of being my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

I said if you're thinking of being my brother

It don't matter if you're black or white

Alright, alright

Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh

Dah, alright

Yeah, yeah, yeah, now

Alright, alright (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Shamone, don't

Yeah, yeah, yeah, now

Alright (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to get by (Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's black, it's white, hoo! (Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to get by (Ooh, ooh, yeah, yeah, yeah)

It's black, it's white, hoo!
