Black and White - Rick James

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Hey-hey-hey-hey-ey

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Ooh, uh

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Frankie was a brother

And his skin was just as dark as night

Suzy was a sister

And just coloured pretty Suzey, very white

They met in a nightclub

Somewhere in the year of '89

Suzy told her girl friends

«Well I think that colored boy is really fine»

Oh yeah

They look so wild and crazy, yeah

Check them out and see, yeah

I think I’ll let the walls down to my prison

Let my heart go free, yeah

Now wanna get wild and crazy, yeah

Don’t care what people say, naw

Step into the dark side of the rainbow

What I’ll do is right

Just a silly game of Black and White

Be it together

Talkin' about Black and White

Black and White

Be it together

Talkin' about Black and White

What color you are

Oh say, can you see (can you see)

Just what color you are (just what color that you are)

Black, yellow or white (black or white)

Everybody is a star (everybody is a star)

Frankie looked at Suzy

And he caught her staring in his eyes

Suzy’s girl friends told her

What was happening just wasn’t very wise, now

Oh no

If it was another world

They’d met each other face to face

No one ever heard the conversation

That was taking place

Oh no

Do you wanna get wild and crazy, yeah

Maybe take a chance, yeah

If the talk that they may talk about us

May I have this dance, baby

Do you wanna get wild and crazy, yeah

Break the silly rules, yeah

Maybe if we get to know each other

Groove out all the fools

Bring it to the light

Cause when you break it down

It’s just silly games of Black and White

Be it together

Talkin' about Black and White

Black and White

Be it together

Talkin' about Black and White

So just stand and be proud (be proud)

Sing a song, sing it loud (sing it soft and sing it loud)

Bring the truth to the light (bring it to the light)

Come together black and white (come together, come together)

(«Calling people of the world») come together

(«Black boys, white girls») come together

(«I have a dream») come together

Yeah, yeah, yeah

Come together («black boys, white girls»)

Come together («calling people of the world»)

Come together («as sisters and brothers»)

(«I have a dream») Come together now!

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Black and white

(«black boys, white girls»)

Black and white

(«I had a dream today»)

Come together
