Skin Deep (feat. Buddy Guy)

I 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 got to be careful how we treat one another, say

Skin deep, skin deep

Underneath we all look the same

Skin deep, skin deep

Underneath don't we all look the same?

A man in Louisiana 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 don't we all look the same?

Skin deep, skin deep

Underneath we all look the same

I sit my child down when he was old enough to know

I said, out there in this big wide world, you're gonna meet all kind of 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"

Skin deep, skin deep

Underneath don't we all look the same?

Skin deep, skin deep

Underneath don't we all look the same?

Skin deep, skin deep

Underneath don't we all look the same? Yeah

Skin deep, skin deep

(Beneath the surface, we all look the same)

(The same, yeah)

Skin deep, skin deep

Skin deep, skin deep

(Ooh, we all look the same)

Skin deep, skin deep

Don't we all look the same? Yeah
