Black Maybe

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 l'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
