Lyrics

The Pages of My Skin

All got our stories to tell, I got mine you got yours as well.
Don’t let life bring you down, sing out make a joyful sound yeah

My Life is written on my body,
Everybody turn the pages of my skin
Oh you’ll see there’s the smooth & there’s the rocky
Come closer, find the secrets lie within.

They say at 20 you get the face that you were born with
But from 40 on you get the face that you deserve
When you take a look at me, doesn’t matter what you see
I’ve got a lot of livin’ in reserve!

My Life is written on my body,
Everybody turn the pages of my skin oh yeah

I’ve got scars from operations…so many I can’t count
Stretch marks from my baby boy, just tryin’ to get out
They burned me on the outside…
To get the poison that was in
You couldn’t kill me with a meat axe, I never will give in

Well you know I’ve got some fine lines
I wear them like a badge
Gravity is not my friend,
but that don’t make me mad
Coz I’ll tell you this for nothin’,
When you’ve lost some people dear
It’s not the look, it’s what’s in the book
And I’m just happy to be here

My Life is written on my body, everybody… every body

Everybody turn the pages of my

Of my skin

Of my skin

Of my skin

Of my skin

Of my skin

Of my skin

Of my skin
