Skin Game

Janet Jackson

Oh 
See you, you in there dancin?
And I´l in here needing questions and answers 

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

The dance is in 
When they´qe mine 
Try to learn the rules 
Don´s mind showin?
Equal chances (taught)
For our amuses 
Not much can beat the odds 
No excuses, let´r 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´r get started 
Try to be the best 
But don´s be that smart 
You know what your brother gets 
No need to complain 
Just figure out, that there´r a way to play, 
To play the skin game 

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

Can´s, can´s, can´s, can´s, can´s, can´s, can´s, can´s 
Keep a good man down 

And I´l in here needing questions and answers 
(Ha!) Hoo! 

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

(And I´l in here needing questions and answers)

It´r a skin game (oh, just a skin game)
