Wish You Were Black

Degradation takes a soul potential

The woman ain't to blame

Infiltrate the morning's passing hours

But love remains the same

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

All American humour

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

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

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 puts you on the right track
