Many people tell you that they′re your friend

And 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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep

(Ooh-ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) watch out for the skin deep

(Better 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

(Ooh-ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep

(Ooh-ooh-ooh) better watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) watch out for the skin deep

(Better watch out) watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep
