Surface Songtext
von Etta Bond

Yeah, you′re pretty, but show me what's beneath your surface
I wanna know ya
I don′t need to check the 'Gram, I'm the one that took the photo
They want you as their man, but they don′t even know ya
Tell me all about your purpose
And what you plan to grow to
I don′t need to check the 'Gram, I′m the one that took the photo
They want you as their man, but they don't even know ya

You′re like no one that I've ever seen
Front page cover of a magazine
But my mama told me nothing′s really ever as it seems
Nothing's really ever as it seems
You're like no one that I′ve ever seen
Front page cover of a magazine
But my mama told me nothing′s really ever as it seems
Nothing's really ever as it seems


Yeah, you′re pretty, but show me what's beneath your surface
I wanna know ya
I don′t need to check the 'Gram, I′m the one that took the photo
They want you as their man, but they don't even know ya
Tell me all about your purpose
And what you plan to grow to
I don't need to check the ′Gram, I′m the one that took the photo
They want you as their man, but they don't even know ya

Seem like something straight out of a dream
But there′s always something hiding underneath
If you wanna tell me, baby, you can open up to me
Baby, you can open up to me (you can open up to me)
Seem like something straight out of a dream
But there's always something hiding underneath
If you wanna tell me, baby, you can open up to me
Baby, you can open up to me

Yeah, you′re pretty, but show me what's beneath your surface
I wanna know ya
I don′t need to check the 'Gram, I'm the one that took the photo
They want you as their man, but they don′t even know ya
Tell me all about your purpose
And what you plan to grow to
I don′t need to check the 'Gram, I′m the one that took the photo
They want you as their man, but they don't even know ya


You can′t hide yourself forever, baby
Oh, those likes don't mean nothing
They′ll find out one day
You can't hide yourself forever, baby
Oh, those likes don't mean nothing
Nothing′s really ever as it seems

Never, never, never
Tell your mommy, "Hi"
She ain′t never lied
Ghosted like a poltergeist
Tryna pick my moments right, yeah
Always moaning, bet you grown this time
We was young back then, but swear you've grown with time

Wait there, wait there
Hey there, stay there
Wait and see

You just barely scratched the surface, girl, I′m way too deep
Heard you put that work in, I just came to see
Fighting all your urges, baby, c'est la vie

I don′t wanna tell you how much you deserve this
I need to show you
They won't find out what we do behind them curtains
I been ready, I′m just checking if you're certain
You're certain now

I know they′re all lurking around
I know they′re all lurking
Say that you don't miss me, but I hear that kitty purring
See beyond your surface like a surgeon, I′m lurkin'

Show me what′s beneath your surface
I wanna know ya
I don't need to check the ′Gram, I'm the one that took the photo
They want you as their man, but they don't even know ya
Tell me all about your purpose
And what you plan to grow to
I don′t need to check the ′Gram, I'm the one that took the photo
They want you as their man, but they don′t even know ya
