Lyrics

I took my baby on a Saturday bang
Is that girl with you?
Yes we're one and the same
Now I believe in miracles
And a miracle has happened tonight
If you'll be my, be my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

I 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'll be my, be my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

I'm tired of this business
I'm tired of this stuff
I'm tired of somebody when the girl gets rough
I ain't scared of your brother
I ain't scared of no sheets
I ain't scared of nobody
Girl when it's gonna get mean

And I told about equality and it's true
Either you're wrong or you're right
But if you'll be my, be my baby
It don't matter if you're black or white

[?]
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
I said it's not about faces,
Not places, faces
Where your blood comes from
Is were 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'll be my, be 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

If you'll be my, be my brother
It don't matter if you're black or white

It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by 
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by (Woo-hoo-hoo)
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by, yeah
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by 
It's black, it's white
It's tough for you to get by (yeah, yeah, yeah)
