My mother went to answer, you know, and you looked so fine. Now I can understand your tears and your shame. She called you "boy" instead of your name. When she wouldn't let you inside. When she turned and said "But honey, he's not our kind." She said I can't see you any more, baby. Can't see you anymore. Walk me down to school, baby. Everybody's acting deaf and blind. Until they turn and say why don't you stick to your own kind. (Not sure about the rest of this verse. It sounds to me like) My teachers all laugh, they smirk and stare. Cutting deep down in our affair. Preachers of equality. They say "Believe us" but why won't they just let us be? They say I can't see you anymore, baby. Can't see you anymore. One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening, Gonna raise my head up high. One of these days I'm gonna raise my glistening wings and fly. But that day will have to wait for awhile. Baby, I'm only society's child. When we're older things may change. But for now this is the way they must remain. I say I can't see you any more, baby. Can't see you anymore. No, I don't wanna see you any more, baby Related Lyrics Random lyrics: I Want to Make You Love Me, Ill Cry Tonight, Let Me Be Lonely, Party Lights, Slow Dance Romance, Sunset of Your Life, Take to the Sky, Will You Dance, Passion Play, Dance With Me, Sweet Sympathy, Some People, Bigger Than Real, Dear Billy, Down and Away, Get Ready to Roll, I Believe Im Myself Again, I Remember Yesterday, Restless Eyes, Sugar Mountain, When Angels Cry, Be Strong Now, Beauty, Country Girl, Jealousy, Lover, Lover, One And Two, See The Sun, Silver String, Sound Of Love, Baby Come To Me, How Do You Keep the Music Playing?, I Dont Have The Heart, Just Once, One Hundred Ways, Somewhere Out There, Theres No Easy Way, Whatever We Imagine, Where Did My Heart Go?, One More Rhythm, Wish You Were Here, ST?HLERNES LABYRINTH, Sleepwalkers on Ya Radio, Shake It Off, Ankkurinappi, Aurinko Lemmi Haentae Puolestani, Doris, Haen, Juonitaan ja jeesustellaan, Kehraeaejae, Other Janis Ian song Lyrics At Seventeen Lyrics Between the Lines Lyrics Bright Lights and Promises Lyrics From Me To You Lyrics In The Winter Lyrics Light a Light Lyrics Lovers Lullaby Lyrics Tea and Sympathy Lyrics The Come On Lyrics Breaking Silence Lyrics Fly Too High Lyrics ...Show All Other Artists Ian Lex Lyrics Ian Matthews Lyrics Ian McCulloch Lyrics Ian Moore Lyrics Ian Thomas Lyrics Ian Tyson Lyrics Ian Van Dahl Lyrics Ian Whitcomb Lyrics Ian Whitcomb and Bluesville Lyrics Ian Yelling Lyrics All lyrics are property and copyright of their owners and are strictly for educational purposes only. lyricstrue.net Copyright © 2005-2007 All Rights Reserved., , Privacy policy
