Remember the tapping of your feet
The sliding 'cross the floor
Came from the smiles we couldn't keep
I see ya as you swipe the symphony
Singing quite the misery
Just remember that was me
We all need music to heal
Moves to remind us how much we can feel
And so much grew from the fields
In America where we think everything is for sale
You ain't got to give it back
Just remember black
You ain't got to give it back
Just remember black
(Ah, ooh)
(Hoo, ooh)
Oh
Remember the tapping of your feet
The sliding 'cross the floor
From smiles we couldn't keep (ooh)
I see ya as you swipe our symphony
Singing quite the misery
Just remember that was me
All need music to heal (music to heal)
Moves to remind us how, how much we can feel
And so much grew from the, g-grew from the fields
In America where we think everything is for sale
You ain't got (ain't got)
To give it back (give it back, ooh)
Just (just)
Remember black (remember black, remember, remember)
You ain't got (ain't got)
To give it back (give it back, remember me)
Just (just)
Remember black (remember black, just remember)
You ain't got (ain't got)
To give it back (give it back, remember me)
Just (just)
Remember black (remember black)
You ain't got (ain't got)
To give it back (give it back)
Just (just)
Remember black (remember black)
Remember the tapping of your feet
The sliding 'cross the floor
Came from smiles we couldn't keep
I see ya as you swipe the symphony
Singing quite the misery
Just remember that was me
We all need music to heal
Moves to remind us how much we can feel
And so much grew from the fields in America
Where we think everything's for sale
(Hoo, hey-yeah, oh, yeah)
You ain't got to give it back (yeah)
Just remember black (yeah)
You ain't got to give it back (yeah)
Just remember black (yeah)
Oh, America
Don't forget to, oh, remember
You ain't got to give it back
Just remember black
You ain't got to give it back
Just remember black
