JANET JACKSON - The Skin Game lyrics

rate me

Oh

See you, you in there dancin',

And I'm in here needing questions and answers

(Ha!, ha!), hey!, (ha!, ha!)

Ha!, hoo!, ha!, hoo!, ha!, hoo!, ha!

The dance is in

When they're mine

Try to learn the rules

Don't mind showin'

Equal chances (taught)

For our amuses

Not much can beat the odds

No excuses, let's play the skin game

(Ha!, ha!, ha!), hoo!, (ha!, ha!, ha!), ooh!,(ha!, ha!)

Sing it!, ha!, hoo!, ha!, (sing it!), sing it!, ha!, hoo!, (your choice), ha!

You say your set

So let's get started

Try to be the best

But don't be that smart

You know what your brother gets

No need to complain

Just figure out, that there's a way to play,

To play the skin game

Chorus:

The skin game is still around, sing it!,

But you can't keep a good man down

(play the skin game)

(Ha!, ha!, ha!), hoo!, ha!, (ha!, ha!), hoo!, (ha!, ha!) ha!, ( ha!), hoo!

Repeat Chorus

Can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't

Keep a good man down

And I'm in here needing questions and answers

(Ha!)

Hoo!

Repeat Chorus

(And I'm in here needing questions and answers)

Outside lookin' in, in, in

The door is open, but you can't get in

Something's in the way

It's a skin game (oh, just a skin game)

Just a skin game

Let's play the skin game (game)

Hoo!, hoo!

(Sing it for the people ya'll)

Repeat Chorus

The skin game is still around, sing it!,

But you can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't, can't

Keep a good man down,

Can't, can't, can't, can't, sing it!, can't, can't, can't, can't, sing it!

Repeat Chorus

Hoo!

Break it down, sing it!

Hoo!

Sing it!

(Sing it for the people ya'll)

Sing it!

(Sing it!, sing it!, sing it, sing it again!)

(Sing it again, sing it again, and again, and again, and again, and again)

Repeat Chorus

The skin game is still around

See you in there dancin',

And I'm in here needing questions and answers
