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

Riff


They print my message in the Saturday sun

I had to tell them I ain't second to none
      
And I told about equality
                                            
And 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

Riff


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

Protection for gangs, clubs and nations
Causing grief in human relations
Its a turf war on a global scale
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, its 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
               
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

Its black, its white
Its tough for you to get by
Its black , its white, whoo
Its black, its white
Its tough for you to get by
Its black , its white, whoo
