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 thinking 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 'em about equality And it's true, either you're wrong or you're right But if you're thinking about my baby It don't matter if you're black or white 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 [L.T.B.] 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 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 Oh, oh Alright, yeah, yeah, yeah Oh, come on Yeah, yeah, 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 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
