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 lineThinking of my pale white skin
Thinking of her dark and smooth
She against me
Black girlfriend, black girlfriendMet her on the corner
Where 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 someLooking out her window
It's so exciting and foreign
But I'm staying
With my black girlfriendDrivin' through the 'hood in my Chevy Nova '62
With my arm around my little black girl
People on the corner, looking in my car
Wanna do me, 'cos I won't give back that little black girlDo you wanna come on in?
Do you wanna eat some?
Meet my family
Black girlfriend, black girlfriendEver since the riots
