She was black as the night.
Louie was whiter than white.
Danger, danger when you taste brown sugar,
Louie fell in love ove rnight.
Nothing bad...it was good.
Louie had the best girl he could.
When she took him home to meet her
mama and papa,
Louie knew just where h e stood.
Louie, louie, louie, Loo-ee.
Louie, louie, louie, Loo-eye.
Louie, louie, louie, Loo-ee.
Louie, Louie, you're gonn a cry.
There he stood in the night.
Knowing what's wrong from what's right.
He took her home to meet his mama and papa,
Man, he had a terribl e fight.
Louie nearly caused a scene.
Wishin'it was a dream.
Ain't no difference if you're black or white,
Brothers, you know what i mean.
