Skin Deep

I've been around a little while I know wrong from right I found out a long time ago Things ain't 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 all are the same A man in Louisiana He never called him by his name He said ""boy do this and boy do that"" But he never once complained I knew he was a good man he just didn't understand That heneeded 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 all are the same I sat my son down When he was old enough to know I said son out in this big old world You're gonna meet all kinds of folks but it all comes down to one simple rule treat everybody just the way you want them to treat you
