"Skin Deep" lyrics

"Skin Deep"

Mm

Well I ain't asking you to keep no secrets
My reputation's already shot
Ain't asking you to commit treason
Just tell me if you like it or not
Like it or not, baby
That's the way I want it to be
Don't give me your heart and soul
My love is only skin deep

I'll give you my time and money
And I'll give you somewhere to sleep
Don't ask me for my heart and soul
My love is only skin deep
My love is only skin deep
My love is only skin deep

I ain't looking for no blue-eyed lover
That's what stole my baby away
I can see your eyes are darker than midnight
And that's the time that I wanna play
I wanna play baby
That's the way I want it to be
Don't give me your heart and soul
My love is only skin deep

I'll give you my time and money
And I'll give you somewhere to sleep
But don't ask me for my heart and soul
My love is only skin deep
My love is only skin deep
My love is only skin deep, yeah

Oh I'll give you my time and my money
Now I'll give you somewhere to sleep
Baby don't ask me for my heart and my soul
No, my love is only skin deep
Baby, my love is only skin deep
Hey don't even ask me, baby
Don't even ask me
Oh baby
It's only, only skin deep, baby
