I Wish I Could Dance Like Black People Do

 

I wish I could dance like black people do

I wish I could sing like I suffered a lot

I wish I had roots that were harder to find

I wish I could dance like black people do

 

And you say it doesn’t affect you at all

But I ain’t about to believe that it’s true

‘Cause I’ve seen what makes an impression on you

And there’s so many things that I

That I can do

 

I wish I could dance like black people do

(I wish I could)

 

I wish I could dance like black people do

I wish I could feel some oppression and pain

I wish that my physical got through to you

I wish I could dance like black people do

 

And you say it doesn’t affect you at all

But I ain’t about to believe that it’s true

‘Cause I’ve seen what makes an impression on you

And there’s so many things that I

That I can do

 

I wish I could dance like black people do

(Dancing)

(I wish I could)

Okay

 

And you say it doesn’t affect you at all

But I ain’t about to believe that it’s true

‘Cause I’ve seen what makes an impression on you

And there’s so many things that I

That I can do

 

I wish I could dance like black people do

(I wish I could)
