Lyrics

[Verse 1] Come to my door, baby Face is clean and shining black as night My mother went to answer you know Said you looked so fine Now I could understand your tears and your pain She called you "Girl" instead of your name When she wouldn't let you inside When she turned and said "But honey, she's not our kind." [Chorus 1] She said I can't see you any more, baby Can't see you anymore [Verse 2] Walk me down to school, baby People acting like they're deaf and blind Until they turn and say, "Why don't you stick to your own kind." My teachers all laugh, their smirking stares Cutting deep down in our affairs Preachers of equality Think they believe it, then why won't they just let us be? [Chorus 2] They say I can't see you anymore baby Can't see you anymore [Verse 3] One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening Gonna raise my head up high One of these days I'm gonna spread my glistening wings and fly But that day will have to wait for a while Baby I'm only society's child When we're older things may change But for now this is the way, they must remain [Chorus 3] I say I can't see you anymore baby Can't see you anymore No, I won't see you anymore, baby
