The Skin I'm In - Heaven 17

People say

I need a new direction

People say

That I won’t last

People change

Opinions with their dresses

I have learned

How to protect

I don’t need

To run for cover

Always feel

Like I am home

I don’t care

What people think

It’s just because

I like the skin I’m in

Come what may

My love is true

It’s double shelter

When I’m with you

Can’t deny

You’re scared of their reaction

Just understand

What’s on my mind

My only fear

Is love won’t last forever

Come over here

And look me in the eye

You don’t need

To run for cover

Make you feel

Like you are home

I don’t care

What people think

It’s just because

I like the skin I’m in

Come what may

My love is true

It’s double shelter

When I’m with you

I don’t care

What they might think

Can’t leave you

Can’t leave the skin I’m in

Come what may

You must be true

We stick together

Cause I’m in you

You see

People can do you no harm

Do you feel

The way I feel

Safe in your arms
