The Stranglers - Skin Deep

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
Cos 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

Brother watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out for the skin deep
(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
Brother 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

Brother watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out for the skin deep
(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out for the skin deep

(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out for the skin deep

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
Cos 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

Brother watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out for the skin deep
(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
Brother 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

Brother watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out for the skin deep
(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out for the skin deep

(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep
Brother watch out for the skin deep
