lyrics
i know so many white people
i mean where do i start
the trouble with white people
is you just can’t tell them apart
i’m so bad with names
and dates and times
but i’m big on faces
that is except for mine
i believe you when you tell me
that we’ve met before
but this time you got my interest
this time you got the floor
why don’t you go and tell me
something i don’t already know
give me something to remember
you by when i go
i eat too much i laugh too long
maybe i’ll like too much of you
when i’m gone
let’s go over to the window
and sit in the neon light
let’s go out walking
you know it’s garbage night
let’s go down to the east river
and throw something in
something we can’t live without
then let’s start again
the more you talk
the more i get
the sense of something
that hasn’t happened yet
the more you talk
the more i want to know
the way i’ll remember you
when i go
i eat too much
i laugh too long
maybe i’ll like too much
of you when i’m gone
i am so many white people
i mean where do i start
i got lots of personalities
i just can’t tell them apart
and i never remember anything
except for those things
that i never forget
there’s no in between
i’m big on your face
yeah it’s big in my mind
you’re like the rest
of the human race
you are one of a kind
i mean where do i start
the trouble with white people
is you just can’t tell them apart
i’m so bad with names
and dates and times
but i’m big on faces
that is except for mine
i believe you when you tell me
that we’ve met before
but this time you got my interest
this time you got the floor
why don’t you go and tell me
something i don’t already know
give me something to remember
you by when i go
i eat too much i laugh too long
maybe i’ll like too much of you
when i’m gone
let’s go over to the window
and sit in the neon light
let’s go out walking
you know it’s garbage night
let’s go down to the east river
and throw something in
something we can’t live without
then let’s start again
the more you talk
the more i get
the sense of something
that hasn’t happened yet
the more you talk
the more i want to know
the way i’ll remember you
when i go
i eat too much
i laugh too long
maybe i’ll like too much
of you when i’m gone
i am so many white people
i mean where do i start
i got lots of personalities
i just can’t tell them apart
and i never remember anything
except for those things
that i never forget
there’s no in between
i’m big on your face
yeah it’s big in my mind
you’re like the rest
of the human race
you are one of a kind
