Skin Deep Songtext
von Buddy Guy

I′ve been around a while
I know wrong from right
Learned 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 me by my name
He said, "Boy do this and boy do that" but I never once complained
I knew he had a good heart but he just didn′t understand
That I needed to be treated just like any other man


Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we′re all the same (we're all, we′re all)
Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same (we′re all, we're all)
We all are the same

I sat my child down when he was old enough to know
I said out there in this big wide world you′re gonna meet all kinda folks
I said son, it all comes down to just one simple rule
That you treat everybody just the way you want them to treat you, yeah

Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same (we're all-)
Skin deep
Skin deep
Underneath we′re all the same
We all are the same

Skin deep (we′re all)
Skin deep (we're all)
Underneath we′re all the same (we're all)
Skin deep (we′re all)
Skin deep
Underneath we're all the same
We all are the same, yeah
