Maybe there's someone who makes you weep
(Brother, watch out)
(Brother, watch out)
(Ooh)
Better watch out for the skin deep
Just remember the days as long as the time that you keep
Your emotions are frayed and your nerves are starting to creep
(Brother, watch out)
Watch out for the skin deep
One day the track that you're climbing gets steep
Watch out for the skin deep
(Brother, watch out)
Better watch out for the skin deep
Watch out for the skin deep
Brother you better watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
And some nights loom up ahead when you're asleep
(Ooh)
Watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
Some days there's things on your mind you should keep
(Ooh)
Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send
(Ooh)
Watch out for the skin deep
Better watch out for the skin deep
Sometimes it's tougher to look than to leap
(Brother, watch out)
Better watch out for the skin deep
Watch out for the skin deep
'Cause brother, you've only got two hands to lend
(Brother, watch out)
