Skin Game - Lyrics by Janet Jackson


Lyrics
Oh 
See you, you in there dancin?

And IЈl in here needing questions and answers
(
Ha!, ha!), hey!, (ha!, ha!)

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

The dance is in
When they
Јqe mine
Try to learn the rules
Don
Јs mind showin?

Equal chances (taught)

For our amuses
Not much can beat the odds
No excuses, let
Јr 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
Јr get started
Try to be the best
But don
Јs be that smart
You know what your brother gets
No need to complain
Just figure out, that there
Јr a way to play,
To play the skin game

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can
Јs keep a good man down
(
Ha!, ha!, ha!), hoo!, ha!, (ha!, ha!), hoo!, (ha!, ha!) ha!, ( ha!), hoo!

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can
Јs keep a good man down, (play the skin game)

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can
Јs keep a good man down

Can
Јs, can
Јs, can
Јs, can
Јs, can
Јs, can
Јs, can
Јs, can
Јs
Keep a good man down

And IЈl in here needing questions and answers (
Ha!) Hoo!

The skin game is still around, sing it!,

But you can
Јs keep a good man down, (play the skin game)

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can
Јs keep a good man down, (play the skin game)

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can
Јs keep a good man down, (play the skin game)
The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can
Јs keep a good man down
(
And IЈl in here needing questions and answers)

Outside lookin' in, in, in
The door is open, but you can
Јs get in
Something
Јr in the way
It
Јr a skin game (oh, just a skin game)
Just a skin game
Let
Јr play the skin game (game)

Hoo!, hoo! (
Sing it for the people ya
Јkl)

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can
Јs keep a good man down, (play the skin game)

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can

The skin game is still around, sing it!,
But you can
