Lyrics

[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
Maybe there's someone who makes you weep
Some nights, they 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
[Verse 3]
Ooh
You better watch out for the skin deep
Ooh
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
[Verse 4]
One day
The track that you're climbing gets steep
Your emotions are frayed
And your nerves are startin' to creep
Just remember the days
As long as the time that you keep
Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep
[Verse 5]
Ooh
Better watch out for the skin deep
Ooh
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
[Verse 6]
(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
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh...
