E
I took my baby on a Saturday bang,

Boy is that girl with you ?
Yes, we're one and the same.
    A
Now I believe in miracles,
                              E
and a miracle has happened tonight.
                 B
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
          A                          E
it don't matter if you're black or white.

E
They print my message in the Saturday Sun,

I had to tell them, I ain't second to none.
       A
And I told about equality,
                                              E
and it's true, either you're wrong or you're right.
                 B
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
          A                          E
it don't matter if you're black or white.

 E
I`m tired of this devil, I`m tired of this stuff,
                                         A          E
I`m tired of this business, so when the going gets rough.
E
I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets,
                                         A          E
I ain't scared of nobody, girl when the goin' gets mean.

E
Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,
E
causing grief in human relations.
E
It's a turf war on a global scale,
E
I'd rather hear both sides of the tale.
E
See, it's not about races, just places, faces.
E
Where your blood comes from is where your space is.
E
I've seen the bright get duller
E
I'm not going to spend my life being a color.

       A
Don't tell me you agree with me,
                                   E
when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.
                 B
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
          A                          E
it don't matter if you're black or white.
                    B
I said, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
          A                          E
it don't matter if you're black or white.
                    B
I said, if you're thinkin' of being my brother,
          A                          E
it don't matter if you're black or white.
