Wish You Were Black

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Degradation takes a soul potential The woman ain't to blame Infiltrate the morning's passing hours But love remains the same [Chorus] I know, I wish you were black But ain't no use you pretending She ain't ever coming back To put you on the right track [Verse 2] Un-American humour With all American smile Love is on the horizon baby But no one can reply well well [Chorus] I know I wish you were black But it ain't no use singing gospel She ain't ever coming back To put you on the right track She put you on the right track Put you on the right, right, right She put you on the right track Yeah [Bridge] Breezin', breezin', she's no lover Nobody's lover, babe She says, breezin', breezin' [Verse] Satisfaction unrequited, baby A ghetto in your heart Hoards of mass production, baby Is keeping us apart, well well [Chorus] I know I wish you were black But ain't no use singing gospel She ain't ever coming back To put you on the right track Ooh, put you on the right track, yeah She put you on the right, right, right She put you on the right track Yeah [Chorus] I know I wish you were black But ain't no use singing gospel She ain't ever coming back To put you on the right track She put you on the right track Put you on the right, right, right She put you on the right track, yeah Put you on the right track Put you on the right track, yeah Put you on the right track
