Wish You Were Black
Degradation takes a soul potential
The woman ain't to blame, well
Infiltrate the morning's passing hours
But love remains the same, well
I know I wish you were black
But ain't no use you pretending
She ain't ever coming back
She put you on the right track
All American humor
With all American smile
Love is on the horizon, baby
But no one can reply, well, well
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, oh
Put you on the right-right-oh right
She put you on the right track
Breezin', breezin', she's no lover
Nobody's lover, babe
She says, breezin', breezin'
Satisfaction unrequired, baby
A ghetto in your heart
Hoards of mass production, baby
Is keeping us apart, well, well
I know I wish you were black
But ain't no use singing gospel
She ain't ever coming back
She put you on the right track, oh
put you on the right track, yeah
She put you on the right-right-oh right
She put you on the right track, yeah
Well, I know I wish you were black
But ain't use singing gospel
She ain't ever coming back
She put you on the right track
She put you on the right track
She put you on the right-right-right
She put you on the right track, yeah
She put you on the right track, oh
She put you on the right track, yeah
The woman ain't to blame, well
Infiltrate the morning's passing hours
But love remains the same, well
I know I wish you were black
But ain't no use you pretending
She ain't ever coming back
She put you on the right track
All American humor
With all American smile
Love is on the horizon, baby
But no one can reply, well, well
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, oh
Put you on the right-right-oh right
She put you on the right track
Breezin', breezin', she's no lover
Nobody's lover, babe
She says, breezin', breezin'
Satisfaction unrequired, baby
A ghetto in your heart
Hoards of mass production, baby
Is keeping us apart, well, well
I know I wish you were black
But ain't no use singing gospel
She ain't ever coming back
She put you on the right track, oh
put you on the right track, yeah
She put you on the right-right-oh right
She put you on the right track, yeah
Well, I know I wish you were black
But ain't use singing gospel
She ain't ever coming back
She put you on the right track
She put you on the right track
She put you on the right-right-right
She put you on the right track, yeah
She put you on the right track, oh
She put you on the right track, yeah
