[Verse 1]
You come to my door, baby
Face is clean and shining black as night
My mama went to answer
You know that you looked so fine
Now I could understand the tears and the shame
She called you "Boy" instead of your name
When she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said
"But honey, he's not our kind"
[Chorus]
She said I can't see you any more, baby
Can't see you any more
[Verse 2]
You walk me down to school, baby
Everybody's acting deaf and blind
Until they turn and say
"Why don't you just stick to your own kind?"
And the teachers all laugh, their smirking stares
Cutting deep down in our affairs
Preachers of equality
Think they beliеve it
Then why won't they just lеt us be?
You come to my door, baby
Face is clean and shining black as night
My mama went to answer
You know that you looked so fine
Now I could understand the tears and the shame
She called you "Boy" instead of your name
When she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said
"But honey, he's not our kind"
[Chorus]
She said I can't see you any more, baby
Can't see you any more
[Verse 2]
You walk me down to school, baby
Everybody's acting deaf and blind
Until they turn and say
"Why don't you just stick to your own kind?"
And the teachers all laugh, their smirking stares
Cutting deep down in our affairs
Preachers of equality
Think they beliеve it
Then why won't they just lеt us be?
