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
I say
Skin deep skin deep
Underneath we all look same
Skin deep skin deep
Underneath don't we all look 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 don't we all look the same
Skin deep skin deep
Underneath we all look the same
I sat my little child down
When he was old enough to know
I said I fear in this big wide world
You're gonna meet all kinda folks
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
Skin deep skin deep
Underneath don't we all look the same
Skin deep skin deep
Underneath we all look the same
Skin deep skin deep
Underneath don't we all look the same yeah
Skin deep skin deep
Underneath we just all look the same the same yeah
Skin deep treat everybody skin deep
Skin deep skin deep
All look all look the same
Yeah yeah
Yeah
