Black Man on the Corner


Black man on the corner
Could you love me?
Would you love me?
Do you love me?


Have you been thinking of a woman just like me?
Have I been in your dreams?


Black man on the corner
Do you love me?
Can you love me?
Would you want to love me?


Black man, are you interested in love?
Why?
Why not?
Black man, love makes our world go round.
Love can resurrect us.
Love can pump good blood through our veins.


Black man on the corner
Do you love me?
Can you love me?
Would you want to love me?


Black man, why do you want me to be a whore?
Why can't you just love me and only me?
Is your penis' pleasure that important?


I love you black man, but why must I be a trick?
I would like to love you,
But if not you, why not the next black man?


Black man on the corner
Do you love me?
Can you love me?
Would you want to love me?


Wipe the tears from my eyes
Black man
Tell me I'm beautiful.
