Degradation takes a soul potential 
The woman ain't to blame 
Infiltrate the morning's passing hours 
But love remains the same 

I know I wish you were black 
But ain't no use you pretending 
She ain't [bad word] back 
To put you on the right track 

All American humour 
With all American smile 
Love is on the horizon baby 
But no one can reply, well, well 

I know I wish you were black 
But ain't no use singing gospel 
She ain't [bad word] back 
To put you on the right track 

Breezin, breezin, she's no lover 
Nobody's lover, babe 
She says: Breezin, breezin 

Satisfaction unrequired baby 
ghetto in your heart 
Hoards of mass production baby 
Is keeping us apart 

I know I wish you were black 
But ain't no use singing gospel 
She ain't [bad word] back 
To put you on the right track 
She puts you on the right track
