Skin (10th Anniversary Edition)
There's a woman in a mirror
And she's looking at me
There's a woman in a mirror
And she's sure damn pretty
There's a woman in a mirror
Now she looks rather angry
So I come closer
And try to make her feel better
Soon I find out that woman here is me
If I could take her place crossing gently through the surface
If I were given the grace to become who I am
As I look at her face, well the difference's gettin thinner
We have come so close, I feel her lips on mine
And I'm gonna change that skin
I'm gonna shed that skin
And let the butterfly spread its wings
I'm gonna shed some tears
I'm gonna face my fears
I'm gonna start to blossom
Let the, let the woman in
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh my body is a prison
And I want to break free
Well society will call it treason
And they will be hunting me
Why not shave my legs if that helps me feel still
Why not wear a dress if that makes me feel free
I will walk in the streets like a queen with her crown
Up from my high heels I will ignore their frowns
And I'm gonna change that skin
I'm gonna shed that skin
And let the butterfly spread its wings
I'm gonna shed some tears
I'm gonna beat my fears
I'm gonna start to blossom
Let the, let the woman in
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
And she's looking at me
There's a woman in a mirror
And she's sure damn pretty
There's a woman in a mirror
Now she looks rather angry
So I come closer
And try to make her feel better
Soon I find out that woman here is me
If I could take her place crossing gently through the surface
If I were given the grace to become who I am
As I look at her face, well the difference's gettin thinner
We have come so close, I feel her lips on mine
And I'm gonna change that skin
I'm gonna shed that skin
And let the butterfly spread its wings
I'm gonna shed some tears
I'm gonna face my fears
I'm gonna start to blossom
Let the, let the woman in
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Oh my body is a prison
And I want to break free
Well society will call it treason
And they will be hunting me
Why not shave my legs if that helps me feel still
Why not wear a dress if that makes me feel free
I will walk in the streets like a queen with her crown
Up from my high heels I will ignore their frowns
And I'm gonna change that skin
I'm gonna shed that skin
And let the butterfly spread its wings
I'm gonna shed some tears
I'm gonna beat my fears
I'm gonna start to blossom
Let the, let the woman in
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
