(I see some very nice skin out there)
I like the smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the pigment in your skin
I like the way it moves me
I like kids when they're asleep
Their little arms around you
I like the way we play games
Don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
It's the truth, my child
My second life has just begun
With this hungry girl
I like black and I like red
And I like that orange circle
I like the things that you said
When you were misbehaving
I like the people on TV
But no-one looks like me
I love you and you love me
Don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
It's the truth, my child
My second life has just begun
With this hungry girl
I love the pigment in your skin
I love the way it moves me
I like the smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the things that you said
When you were misbehaving
I love you and you love me
Don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
It's the truth, my child
My second life has just begun
With this hungry girl
It's the truth, my child
Let me hold you high
(And I like to get up in the sky)
(I like to look down)
(I like to fly)
(I like to fly, in the sky real high)
(I like to run in the sand like a horse)
(That's what I like)
(I like to swim in the ocean like a fish)
(I like to fly high)
I like the smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the pigment in your skin
I like the way it moves me
I like kids when they're asleep
Their little arms around you
I like the way we play games
Don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
It's the truth, my child
My second life has just begun
With this hungry girl
I like black and I like red
And I like that orange circle
I like the things that you said
When you were misbehaving
I like the people on TV
But no-one looks like me
I love you and you love me
Don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
It's the truth, my child
My second life has just begun
With this hungry girl
I love the pigment in your skin
I love the way it moves me
I like the smell of that shop
I like the way it serves me
I like the things that you said
When you were misbehaving
I love you and you love me
Don't lose that skin feeling
I'm looking old, I'm feeling young
It's the truth, my child
My second life has just begun
With this hungry girl
It's the truth, my child
Let me hold you high
(And I like to get up in the sky)

(I like to fly, in the sky real high)
