Lyrics
SKIN
I want to talk about you Darlin’ and skin
You know I love to look at you and touch the skin you’re in
All your lotions and potions, I really am impressed
But here’s a little something that I need to confess
You don’t ever have to make your face uo for me
I’m hooked on the lok you got naturally
I know it’s kind of fun to get all glamored up
But don’t buy the story that you need it for love
You read it in the magazines you see it on TV
You’re sold a phony notion that you’re only skin deep
But you don’t have to color it or stretch it or thin it
What really turns me on is that you're comfortable in it
Some of your friends I think they’ve really flipped their wig
They shoot poison in their brow and puff their lips up big
They suck the fat from underneath, let doctors cut and lift it
And try to rearrange the skin that gravity has lifted
Think of all the time wasted and money spent
Trying to ignite a spark when in the end
You don’t have to color it or tighten it or thin it
What really turns me on is that you're comfortable in it
You’re never quite as gorgeous as when you don’t hide
And show me what you know is beautiful inside
The power of attraction is multiplied by ten
I love it when we’re real and nothing is pretend
There's nothing to make up for, you’re fabulous enough
And I love kissing you without that that sticky lip stuff
But you don’t have to color it or tighten it or thin it
What really tuns me on is that you're comfortable in it
