She said she was a lady,
Don't know if I agree.
She said she had a lady's love,
A lady's love for me.
She said she'd show me living,
There was so much to see.
But when I'd seen the other side,
It ain't how life should be.

Oh skin deep, oh skin deep,
She don't know that love goes so much deeper.
Oh skin deep, oh skin deep,
She don't know that love goes so much deeper.

Money can bring you misery,
You fight to stay secure,
She says it makes your misery
A pleasure to endure.
She said I should be pushing,
I've gotta head the queue.
But then she says a lot of things
She knows I'll never do.

Oh skin deep, oh skin deep,
She don't know that love goes much deeper.
Oh skin deep, oh skin deep,
She don't know that love goes much deeper.

Hold back the rain
Bring on the sunshine.
Spare her the pain
She wants a good time.
Oh skin deep, oh skin deep,
She don't know that love goes much deeper.
