BLACK GIRLS

VERSE 1
Mid-afternoon he sees them walk by
Afro?d hair and big brown eyes
Black girls are walking home from school
Passing by the white boys shooting pool

HOOK 1
Black Girls, walking home from school
Black Girls, in white blouses keeping cool
Black Girls, to Sunday church they go
Black Girls, their baby sisters is tow

VERSE 2
He hangs with the brothers talking their jive
Playing that music he feels so alive
Black girls are dancing they move so nice
While the white boys watch from the shadows
The year is nineteen-seven-five
He takes a black girl for his bride
Sometimes it?s a groove sometimes it?s hell
Their daughter?s skin is caramel

HOOK 2
Black Girls, walking home from school
Black Girls, in white blouses keeping cool
Black Girls, to Sunday church they go
Black Girls, their baby sisters is tow

BRIDGE
Well I?m watching you watching me, when I walk on by I see
The way that you stare and your straight blond hair
My momma cleans for your momma, Daddy mows your lawn
I know what you dream at night, ?coz I got what you want

HOOK 3
Yeah that?s right, walking home from school
Black Girls, in white blouses keeping cool
Black Girls, to Sunday church they go
Black Girls, baby sisters all in tow

(SOLO)

VERSE 3
Mid-afternoon and she?ll work late
Tomorrow she will go and litigate
For a white girl who complains
That her husband beats her silly
So she pours more coffee, stirs it well
Which like her skin is caramel
Looks out her window in time to see
Black girls walking home at three

HOOK 4
Black Girls, singing in the choir
Black Girls, waiting tables in the diner
Black Girls, working for their pay
Black Girls, working night and day
Black Girls, walking home from school
Black Girls, in white blouses keeping cool
Black Girls, to Sunday church they go
Black Girls, their baby sisters all in tow
