Many people ...tell you that they're your friend,
You be - lieve them, you need them,
For what's 'round the river bend,
Make sure that you're re - ceiving the sig - nals they send,
'Cause, brother, you've only got two hands to lend!
verse 2
Maybe, ...there's someone who makes you weep,
And some nights they loom up a - head,
When you're a - sleep,
Some days, there's things on your mind you should keep,
Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap!
(Oo, oo, oo -oo!) Better watch out for the skin deep,
(Oo, oo, oo -oo!) 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!
verse 3
One day ...the track that you're climb - ing gets steep,
Your e - motions are frayed,
And your nerves are start - ing to creep,
Just re - member the day's as long as the time that you keep,
Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep!
(Oo, oo, oo -oo!) Better watch out for the skin deep,
(Oo, oo, oo -oo!) 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!
