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
