It's Raining In My Heart
Oh, but we both know
When it rains in here
It could well be sunny
On the other side of town
Where you live, honey
East side, west side
It all seems so unkind
Why they try to separate us
Cause we're not two of a kind
My skin is dark, baby
And they know yours is light
If they separated us
Would that make things right?
Why can't they see that we're people
And we feel the same
After all, what's a color, a religion, or a name?
East side, west side
It all seems so unkind
What we're doing, mama
What we're doing, baby
Must be glowing in their minds
East side, west side
You live on the east side, baby
I on the west
In different worlds
Separated from the rest
Oh, when we're in their worlds
See how they stare
They're looking right through us, baby
As though we were not there
Who do they think they are
Putting their wrath on us?
What right have they got
To call such a state East of us?
Who would think because
Of our choice of love
They would try to destroy our happiness
Still ought to cry
East side, west side
What does it matter what they think of us?
East side, west side
Just as long as we're in love
What does it matter?
It's waiting in my heart, baby
I miss you so
I wish you were here
Oh, but we don't know
When it's raining in here
It could well be sunny
On the other side of town
Where you live, honey
East side, west side
It all seems so unkind
Why they try, try to separate us
Cause we're not two of a kind
East side, west side
It all seems so unkind
What we're doing, mama
What we're doing, baby
Must be blowing their mind
East side, west side
