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 meet all kinds of 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

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
