I've been around a while I know wrong from right And since a long time ago Things been 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 [Chorus] Skin Deep Skin Deep Underneath we're all the same Skin Deep Skin Deep Underneath we're all the same We're all of 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 [Chorus] I sat my little child down When he was old enough to know I said I fell in this big wide world You're gonna be all kinda froze 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 [Chorus: x2]
