Washington D.C. is pretty but it ain't my city   I need a town here where I can get down   I follow traces of faces of people baby   And when they get it on the world turns brown   In my town you can walk around at night   Go anywhere with anyone you like   Don't like to leave I'd rather hang around   I love it when the world comes to my town      C...A...RA...MEL      The younger you feel the more it feels right   Crossover genes in the middle of the night   I thought a little color hurt, but I was wrong baby, dead wrong      So I'm calling all white people, black people,   Asians, Hispanics, Natives, everybody   I'm gonna scream at the top of my lungs   Caramel City is where I come from      C...A...RA...MEL      It don't get better when you run and hide   I like it when the world collide   I wanna do it baby, do it like we do it every night   I'm sick and tired of being friends   I want to melt in pots and make aments   The first kiss means the party is about to begin      Washington D.C. is pretty...   I need love from everyone around   So I'm calling all white people, black people...   C...A...RA...MEL
