I took my baby on a Saturday bang,
Boy, is that girl with you? Yes, we're one and the same.

it don't matter if you're black or white.
Verse 2
[D]
They print my message in the Saturday Sun,

And I told about equality,

and it's true, either you're wrong or you're right.
[A]
But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
[G] [D]*
it don't matter if you're black or white.

I'm tired of this devil, I'm tired of this stuff,
[G] [D]
I'm tired of this business, so when the going gets rough.

I ain't scared of your brother, I ain't scared of no sheets,

Protection for gangs, clubs, and nations,
[D]
causing grief in human relations.

I'm not going to spend my life being a color.

when I saw you kicking dirt in my eye.

But, if you're thinkin' about my baby,

it don't matter if you're black or white.
[A]
I said, if you're thinkin' about my baby,
[G] [D]*
it don't matter if you're black or white.

[G] [D]*
it don't matter if you're black or white.
