歌词
Come to my door, baby
Face is clean and shining black as night
My mother went to answer
You know that you looked so fine
Now, I could understand your tears and your 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"
♪
She says I can't see you any more, baby
♪
Can't see you anymore
♪
Walk me down to school, baby
Everybody's acting deaf and blind
Until they turn and say
Why don't you stick to your own kind
♪
My teachers all laugh, they smirk and stare
♪
Cuttin' deep down in our affair
Preachers of equality, think they believe it
♪
Then why won't they just let us be?
♪
They say I can't see you anymore, baby
♪
Can't see you anymore
♪
One of these days I'm gonna stop my listenin'
Gonna raise my head up high
One of these days I'm gonna raise my glistenin'
Wings and fly
But that day will have to wait for awhile
♪
Baby, I'm only a society's child
When we're older things may change
But for now this is the way they must remain
♪
I say, I can't see you any more, baby
♪
Can't see you anymore
No, I don't wanna see you any more, baby
