Lyrics Society's Child - Lou Gramm

Come to my door, baby
Your face is clean and shining black as night
Mother went to answer you, no, said you look so fine
Now I can understand your tears and your pain
She called you girl instead of your name
But she wouldn't let you inside
When she turned and said, "Boy, she's not that kind"

She said, "I can't see you anymore, baby
Can't see you anymore"

Walk me down to school, baby
People acting like they're deaf and blind
'Til they turned and said, "Why don't you stick to your own kind?"
My teachers laugh, they crooked stare
Cutting me down, they hated my hair
They said I've been called a "G"
They say believe it but why won't they just let us be?

She said, "I can't see you anymore, baby
Can't see you anymore"

One of these days I'm gonna stop my listening
I'm gonna raise my head up high
One of these days I'm gonna spread my glistening wings and fly
But that day will have to wait for a while
Baby, I'm only society's child
And all those things they say
But for now that's the way they must remain

She said, "I can't see you anymore, baby
Can't see you anymore
I can't see you anymore, baby
Can't see you anymore"
