Between the Lines Lyrics

He walked up on stage with his guitar

Said I'd like to sing this here song for you

But it was written by a woman about a man

I didn't change the lyrics its so beautiful that way it is

So you don't think bad things of me

I really had to tell this

If you read between the lines

I don't play that way

I don't want you to think that I am gay

Read between the lines

She walked up on stage, sat down at the piano

Said I'd like to play this here song for you

But it was written by an African about his home land

I didn't change the music its so beautiful the way it is

So you don't think wrongly of me

I really had to tell this

If you read between the lines

While you're stepping back

I don't want you to think that I am black

People have no choices 'bout the colour of their skin

And showing one another love has never been a sin

If you need to tell us all that you love Jill not Jack

You're just as prejudice as if you told us you're not black

Read between the lines

You've got to open up your mind
