Cover art for Skin Deep lyrics by Stranglers, The

The lyrics are not quite right. These are the correct lyrics:

Many people tell you that they're your friend You believe them You need them For what's round the river bend Make sure that you're receiving the signals they send Cos brother, you've only got two hands to lend

Maybe there's someone who makes you weep And some nights loom up ahead When you're asleep Some days, there's things on your mind you should keep Sometimes, it's tougher to look than to leap

Better watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep

One day the track that you're climbing gets steep Your emotions are frayed And your nerves starting to creep Just remember the day's As long as the time that you keep Brother, you better watch out for the skin deep

Better watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep

(Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep (Brother watch out) Watch out for the skin deep Better watch out for the skin deep
