[Verse 1]
Just because my skin is brown
It don't define who I am
I could be a porcupine
Or I could be a little lamb

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Please don't try and judge me
Only by the colors you have seen
To love me is to know me
Whether red, yellow, black or green

[Chorus]
Cause color is skin deep
But true beauty lives on and on
Color is skin deep
But true beauty lives on and on

[Verse 2]
Her skin might be ivory
And he might be from Japan
But that don't make a better woman
That don't make a lesser man

[Pre-Chorus 2]
Please don't try to judge 'em
Only by the colors you have seen
To love 'em is to know 'em
Whether red, yellow, white, or green
[Chorus]
Cause color is skin deep
But true beauty lives on and on
Color is skin deep
But true beauty lives on and on

[Post-Chorus 1]
Here I go
Here I go
Here I go

[Bridge]
Color is the shape of the rainbow
Color is the tint of the sky
It's not a person, place or thing
It's only a description of you and I
Like the colors on the frame of a house
Will not tell you of the colors within
So why would I try to judge
A man by the shade of his skin? When

[Chorus]
Color is skin deep
But true beauty lives on and on
I know color is skin deep
But true beauty lives on and on
[Post-Chorus 2]
Color
Color, skin
But true beauty
Lives on and on and on and on

[Outro]
Hey, hey
Hey, hey
Lives on and on

On
And on
On
Lives on

On
And on
On
And on
On
And on
