Many people tell you that they're your friend
   You believe them
   You need them
   For what's round the river bend
   Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send
   'Cause brother you've only got two hands to lend
   Maybe there's someone who makes you weep
   And some nights loom up ahead
   When you're asleep
   Some days there's things on your mind you should keep
   Sometimes it's tougher to look than to leap
   Better watch out for the Skin Deep
   Better watch out for the Skin Deep
   Brother watch out watch out for the Skin Deep
   Brother watch out watch out for the Skin Deep
   Better watch out for the Skin Deep
   One day the track that you're climbing gets steep
   Your emotions are frayed
   And your nerves are starting to creep
   Just remember the days
   As long as the time that you keep
   Brother you better watch out for the Skin Deep
   Better watch out for the Skin Deep
   Better watch out for the Skin Deep
   Brother watch out watch out for the Skin Deep
   Brother watch out watch out for the Skin Deep
   Better watch out for the Skin Deep
