[E]I took my baby on a [A]Saturday bang
[E]Boy is that girl with you? Yes we're [A]one and the [E]same
Now [A]I believe in miracles and a miracle has happened to[E]night
But, [B]if you're thinkin' about my baby
It don't [A]matter if you're black or [E]white
[E]They print my message in the [A]Saturday Sun
[E]I had to tell them I ain't [A]second to [E]none
And I [A]told about equality and it's true
Either you're wrong or you're [E]right
But, [B]if you're thinkin' about my baby
It don't [A]matter if you're black or [E]white
[E]I am tired of this devil I am tired of this stuff
[E]I am tired of this business Sew when the going gets rough
[E]I ain't scared of your brother I ain't scared of no sheets
[E]I ain't scared of nobody Girl, when the going gets mean
[E]Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations
[E]Causing grief in human relations It's a turf war on a global scale
[E]I'd rather hear both sides of the tale
See, [E]it's not about races Just places, faces where your blood comes from
Is were your [E]space is I've seen the bright get duller
I'm [E]not going to spend my life being a color
Don't [A]tell me you agree with me
When I saw you kicking dirt in my [E]eye [A] [E]
But, if you're [B]thinkin' about my baby
It don't [E]matter if you're black or [E]white
I said if you're [B]thinkin' about my baby
It don't [E]matter if you're black or [E]white
I said if you're [B]thinkin' about my baby
It don't [E]matter if you're black or [E]white
It's [E]black, it's white
It's [A]tough for you to get by (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's [E]black, it's [A]white
It's [E]black, it's white
It's [A]tough for you to get by (yeah, yeah, yeah)
It's [E]black, it's [A]white
