Lyrics
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
[refrain]
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
[Refrain]
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
[Refrain]
I said if
You're thinkin' of
Being my brother
It don't matter if you're
Black or white
[refrain]
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
