Second Glance

A SURFACE IS JUST THAT
BUT WHAT LIES BENEATH?
WHEN YOU ONLY SEE THE WATER
HOW DO YOU JUDGE CORAL REEF?
IF YOU'VE READ THE TITLE,
HAVE YOU READ THE BOOK?
WHAT APPEARS TO BE TRUE
MIGHT NOT BE WHAT IT LOOKS
SO WHEN YOU SEE ME
SEE ME FOR ME AND
GIVE ME A CHANCE
I'M WORTH A LOT MORE
THAN THAT THING IN MY PANTS
BEFORE YOU DISCOUNT ME AS A PERSON
TAKE A SECOND GLANCE.
