Black maybe or maybe it's just one you say Black maybe or maybe this is just your color for today You've seen the way they've done your bow And the bow's still down after three hundred years Like maybe you better come around
Black maybe or maybe you just talkin' trash Black maybe yeah or maybe your color I better not ask You've seen the way they done your bow And the bow's still crying for days in and days out Black woman you better wash your man's tears away
Maybe you're red, or maybe you're green But your real color I've never seen Oh oh black maybe or maybe you're just talkin' trash Tell me black maybe or really would you rather for me not to ask You see the time is running out and your man's been sad For ages and ages and ages Black maybe it's time for you to wake up, come around, come around
