If I Had Your Lips On Mine

If I had your lips on mine Everything would be just fine Now, wouldn’t it be just divine, if I could have your lips on mine? Wouldn’t it be so good if you weren’t considered “from the hood”? Wouldn’t it be grand if I wasn’t as white as sand? And all these people wouldn’t judge All these people would understand our love We feel the way we feel It is no joke, no play, no hoax Our love is real. Our colors are different, we aren’t the same But that doesn’t make our love some game We define love the same as you When you feel like you’re brand new, accepted, and cared for Heck, I’ve had some white guys treat me like a whore But he is so different from them all I know that it’s ok to fall For when I do, he’ll catch me And when we get all those stares He knows exactly what to say to make me shed not one tear He is black and I am white I yearn for the day when that’ll be alright When love will be… just love It will not be defined by race Instead it will be defined by its strength and grace And there will be no lines to confine We will be free to live out our life happily We will hear no hate or prejudice Everyone will be just fine with this With us With black and white And red and gray And blue and orange And purple and pink Sometimes you just have to think, What would the world be like if everyone was treated equal? If everyone was treated right?
