Society's Child (Baby I've Been Thinking) [In the Style of Janis Ian] {Karaoke Lead Vocal Version} (Karaoke Lead Vocal Version)

(Karaoke Lead Vocal Version) - The Karaoke Channel (卡拉OK頻道)

Come to my door baby

Face is clean and shining black as night

My mother went to answer

You know that you looked so fine

Now I could 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 says 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

My teachers all laugh they smirk and stare

Cuttin' deep down in our affair

Preachers of equality think they believe it

Then 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 listenin'

Gonna raise my head up high

One of these days I'm gonna raise my glistenin'

Wings and fly

But that day will have to wait for awhile

Baby I'm only a 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
