Ever since the riots

All I really wanted

Was a black girlfriend

They don't play around

They're hard enough

To keep any man in lineb

Thinking of my pale white skin

Thinking of her dark and smooth

She against me

(My black girlfriend) My black girlfriend

Black girlfriend

Saw her on the corner

Whre she lived, I asked her

Can you braid my hair?

She and her girlfriends

Laughed at me, said that

It was easy but it'll cost you some

Looking out her window

It's so exciting and foreign

But i'm staying

With my black girlfriend

Drivin' thru the 'hood

In my Chevy Nova '62

My arm around my

Little black girl

People on the corner

Looking in my car

Wanna do me

Cos I won't give back

My little black girl

Do you wanna come on in?

Do you wanna eat some?

Meet my family?

My black girlfriend

My black girlfriend

Ever since the riots

All I really wanted

Was a black girlfriend
