《Society’s Child(Baby I’ve Been Thinking) (Single Version)》歌词

[00:03:12] Come to my door, baby

[00:03:12] Face is clean and shining black as night

[00:03:12] My mother went to answer

[00:03:12] You know that you looked so fine

[00:03:12] Now, I could understand your tears and your shame

[00:03:12] She called you 'Boy' instead of your name

[00:03:12] When she wouldn't let you inside

[00:03:12] When she turned and said, "But honey, he's not our kind"

[00:03:12] She says I can't see you any more, baby

[00:03:12] Can't see you anymore

[00:03:12] Walk me down to school, baby

[00:03:12] Everybody's acting deaf and blind

[00:03:12] Until they turn and say

[00:03:12] Why don't you stick to your own kind

[00:03:12] My teachers all laugh, they smirk and stare

[00:03:12] Cuttin' deep down in our affair

[00:03:12] Preachers of equality, think they believe it

[00:03:12] Then why won't they just let us be?

[00:03:12] They say I can't see you anymore, baby

[00:03:12] Can't see you anymore

[00:03:12] One of these days I'm gonna stop my listenin'

[00:03:12] Gonna raise my head up high

[00:03:12] One of these days I'm gonna raise my glistenin'

[00:03:12] Wings and fly

[00:03:12] But that day will have to wait for awhile

[00:03:12] Baby, I'm only society's child

[00:03:12] When we're older things may change

[00:03:12] But for now this is the way they must remain

[00:03:12] I say, I can't see you any more, baby

[00:03:12] Can't see you anymore

[00:03:12] No, I don't wanna see you any more, baby
