Skin Deep Lyrics

Since I was little I was told

That we were all made beautiful

With hearts of gold

But as I grew up I have seen

That that's not enough for everybody

Pictures became some kind of show

Just empty faces on a phone

Convince me love ain't skin deep

Please can you get to know me

Before you say I'm pretty

Outline my worth clearly, baby

Show me that you love me

Pay attention to me closely

So that you get the real me

Cause lately

I've been feeling love just skin deep

Skin deep

More underneath

Just dig deep

When I was little

I was taught

Don't try to be someone your'e not

Cause we're all unique

But as I grew up I have seen

People thrive in make believe

Or so it seemed

Cause now the filter's gone

And that's not the life I want

Cause love's becoming skin deep

Please can you get to know me

Before you call me pretty

Outline my worth clearly, baby

Show me that you love me

Pay attention to me closely

So that you get the real me

Cause lately

I've been feeling love just skin deep

Skin deep

More underneath

Just dig deep

I convince myself

That I don't really care

'Bout the little things

Like my shape, my face, my hair

But I do

And I'm sure sometimes you do too

But worth is more than skin deep

Even when you're feeling lonely

I hope that you'll see clearly

Your beauty

Cause trust me love ain't

Skin deep

Skin deep

More underneath

Just dig deep
