Come to my door, baby,
face is clean and shining black as night.
My mother went to answer, you know,
and you looked so fine.
Now I can 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 said 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.

(Not sure about the rest of this verse. It sounds to me like)
My teachers all laugh, they smirk and stare.
Cutting deep down in our affair.
Preachers of equality. They say "Believe us"
but 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 listening,
Gonna raise my head up high.
One of these days I'm gonna raise my glistening wings and fly.
But that day will have to wait for awhile.
Baby, I'm only 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.

Other Ian Janis song Lyrics
At Seventeen "I learned the truth at seventeen That love was meant for beauty queens And high school girls with clear-skinned smiles Who married young and then retired..."	BOY I REALLY TIED ONE ON "And when the war was over I went dancing in the streets with the corpse of my dead brother to the sacrificial beat..."
Between The Lines "There's never much to say between the moments of our games and repartee There's never much to read betweeen the lines of what we need and what we'll take..."	Bigger Than Real "Streets of the city Are dirty and gritty now Ain't it a pitiful sight Sing hallelujah and praise California..."
Bright Lights And Promises "Bright lights and promises A pocket full of dreams That's what they pay me to be Gold lame' and diamonds..."	Dance With Me "I'm leaving by night I'm leaving alone I'm leaving it lie When you waken I'll be gone..."
Dear Billy "Dear Billy, how are you? I hope you are well The flowers are blooming The plants, I can't really tell..."	Down And Away "I know your name Through every drop of rain that falls I've known them all Through every stillborn hurricane..."
