Skin Feeling

I like that middle initial
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 rain
I like that ornery circle
I like the things that you said
when you were misbehaving
I like the people on TV
the new one looks like me I love you and you love me don’t lose that skin feeling
I love the pigment in your skin
I love the way it moves me I like the smell of that shock
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
It’s the truth my child
let me hold you high
