Black or White (American Idol Performance)

[Verse 1]

I took my baby on a Saturday bang

Boy, is that girl with you?

Yes, we're one and the same

Now, I believe in miracles

And a miracle has happened tonight

[Chorus]

But, if you're thinking about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

Ooh, yeah

[Verse 2]

They print my message in the Saturday sun

I had to tell them I ain't second to none

And I told 'em about equality

And it's true, either you're wrong or you're right

Yeah

[Chorus]

But, if you're thinking about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

Ooh yeah

Oh

Oh yeah

Yeah yeah

[Bridge]

I am tired of this devil

I am tired of this stuff

I am tired of this business

So when the going gets rough

I ain't scared of your brother

I ain't scared of no sheets

I ain't scared of nobody

Girl, when the going gets mean

[Verse 3]

Don't tell me you agree with me

When I saw you kicking dirt in my eye

[Chorus]

But, if you're thinking about my baby

It don't matter if you're black or white

I said if you're thinking of being my brother

It don't matter if you're black or white

[Outro]

Oh no no no

Yeah yeah yeah

It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to get by

It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to get by

It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to get by

Oh

It's black, it's white

It's tough for you to get by
