Lyrics
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (Oh, yeah, uh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Uh, oh)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah (He-he-he-he-hey)
Yeah, yeah, yeah (Ooh, uh, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Frankie was a brother and his skin was just as dark as night
Suzy was a sister and just call her pretty Suzy Barry White, yeah
They met in a nightclub somewhere in the year of '89
Suzy told her girlfriends, "Wow, I think
That colored boy is really fine," ooh, yeah
Said he looks so wild and crazy, yeah
Check him out and see, yeah
I think I'll let the walls down to my prison
Let my heart go free, yeah
Now I'm gonna get wild and crazy, yeah
Don't care what people say, no
Stepping to the dark side of the rainbow
What I'm doing's right
It's just a silly case of black and white being together
Talking 'bout black and white, yeah
Black and white being together
Talking 'bout black and white
(Oh, say, can you see) Can you see?
(Just what color you are) Just what color that you are
(Black or you're white) Whether black or white
(Everybody is a star) Everybody is a star
Frankie looked at Suzy and he caught her staring in his eyes
Suzy's girlfriends told her what was
Happening just wasn't very wise, now, ooh, no
And without another word, they met each other face to face
No one ever heard the conversation that was taking place, ooh, no
Do you wanna get wild and crazy? Yeah
And maybe take a chance? Yeah
Forget the talk that they may talk about us
May I have this dance, baby?
Do you wanna get wild and crazy? Yeah
Break the silly rules, yeah
Maybe if we get to know each other
We'll prove they all were fools
Bring it to the light
'Cause when you break it down
It's just a silly case of black and white being together
Talking 'bout black and white, yeah
Black and white being together
Talking 'bout black and white, yeah
(So just stand and be proud) Be proud
(Sing in song, sing it loud) Sing in song, just sing it loud
(Bring the truth to the light) Bring the truth into the light
(Together, black and white) Come together, come together
(All the people of the world) Come together
(Black boys, white girls) Come together
(I have a dream) Come together
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Come together
(Black boys, white girls) Come together
(All the people of the world) Come together
(And sisters and brothers)
(I have a dream) Come together now
(Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah) Black and white
(Black boys, white girls) Black and white
(I have a dream today)
Come together
