Skin Deep
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been around a while
I know wrong from right
And since a long time ago
Things been always black and white
Just like you can't judge a book by the cover
We all gotta be careful
How we treat one another
Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same
A man in Louisiana
He never called me by my name
He said: Boy do this and boy do that
But I never once complained
I knew he had a good heart
But he just didn't understand
That I needed to be treated
Just like any other man
Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same
I sat my little child down
When he was old enough to know
I said I fell in this big wide world
You're gonna be all kinda froze
I said son it all comes down to just one simple rule
That you treat everybody just the way
You want them to treat you
Yeah
Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same
Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same
We're all of the same
Yeah
