Don't crawl to me on your knees. I gotta see your face. No beggin', baby, pretty please; Your word alone's a waste.
Don't come aroun' with the tears. I need to look behind. They've always seemed insincere; I wanna read your mind.
Take off your clothes, Wipe off your smile; Till you're exposed, You stay on trial. Take off your skirt, Let down your hair; You say "It hurts," I say "Who cares?"
Tonight isn't for letting you lie, letting you fake it. I'm getting you real, getting you right, getting you naked...
You had a chance at a man. Instead you chose a child. I didn't even understand: So foolish, so beguiled.
I offered you all I was. You left a hollow shell. What cruelty is, cruelty does Until her kisses tell.
Take off your clothes, Wipe off your smile; Till you're exposed, You stay on trial. Take off your skirt, Let down your hair; You say "It hurts," I say "Who cares?"
Tonight isn't for letting you lie, letting you fake it. I'm getting you real, getting you right, getting you naked...
