I've told you that we're getting married,
now don't you try changing my mind.
We've got a good thing together,
who cares if the world is unkind.
I'm a man and you're a woman,
that's all that matters to me.
Baby the times are a'changing
and I want the whole world to see.
You're my ebony angel,
who cares what people say.
My sweet ebony angel
we're going a long long way.
I want your love for a lifetime,
I won't let you keep us apart.
Don't give me those black and white reasons
'cause I only see with my heart.
I'm a man and you're a woman,
that's what the world's all about.
Baby the times are a'changing,
let me erase any doubt.
You're my ebony angel,
who cares what people say.
My sweet ebony angel
we're going a long long way.
Baby the times are a'changing,
let me erase any doubt.
You're my ebony angel,
who cares what people say.
My sweet ebony angel
