Michael Jackson
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
