Naked
Matilda Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ve been worried, I've been scared
Countless, sleepless nights of fear
I′ve been running, running
I've been hiding, I've prepared
For nights, wishing you were here
I′ve been running, running

And I know you don′t know
But if you knew
I can let you go, I wish you knew
I know you don't know
So I′ve been running

I wanna get under your skin
I wanna see you naked, naked, naked
So baby, let me in
I wanna see you naked, naked, naked

I've been losing, I′ve been lost
Endless hours with my thoughts
I've been running, running
I′ve been waiting, I'm on hold
I need you 'cause now I′m cold
I stop running, running

And I know you don′t know
But if you knew
I can let you go, I wish you knew
I know you don't know
So I′ve been running

I wanna get under your skin
I wanna see you naked, naked, naked
So baby, let me in
I wanna see you naked, naked, naked

Naked
Naked
Naked
Naked
Naked

I've been trying
To forget that we met
I′ve been trying
To forget

I wanna get under your skin
I wanna see you naked, naked, naked
So baby, let me in
I wanna see you naked, naked, naked

Naked
Naked
Naked

Nu

Eu estive preocupado, eu tenho medo
Incontáveis ​​noites sem sono de medo
Eu tenho corrido, correndo
Eu estive me escondendo, eu preparei
Por noites desejando que você estivesse aqui
Eu tenho corrido, correndo

E eu sei que você não sabe
Mas se você soubesse
Eu posso deixar você ir, eu queria que você soubesse
Eu sei que você não sabe
Então eu tenho corrido

Eu quero ficar debaixo da sua pele
Eu quero te ver nua, nua, nua
Então, baby, deixe-me entrar
Eu quero te ver nua, nua, nua

Eu tenho perdido, eu me perdi
Horas sem fim com meus pensamentos
Eu tenho corrido, correndo
Eu estive esperando, estou em espera
Eu preciso de você porque agora estou com frio
Eu paro de correr, correndo

E eu sei que você não sabe
Mas se você soubesse
Eu posso deixar você ir, eu queria que você soubesse
Eu sei que você não sabe
Então eu tenho corrido

Eu quero ficar debaixo da sua pele
Eu quero te ver nua, nua, nua
Então, baby, deixe-me entrar
Eu quero te ver nua, nua, nua

Nu, nu
Nu, nu
Nu

Eu estive tentando
Para esquecer que nos conhecemos
Eu estive tentando
Esquecer

Eu quero ficar debaixo da sua pele
Eu quero te ver nua, nua, nua
Então, baby, deixe-me entrar
Eu quero te ver nua, nua, nua

Nu, nu
Nu, nu
Nu

I've been worried, I'VE scared
Countless sleepless nights of fear
I've been running, running
I've been hiding, I'VE prepared
For nights wishing you were here
I've been running, running
And I know you don't know
But if you knew

So I have been running
I wanna get under your skin
I wanna see you naked naked naked
So baby let me in
I wanna see you naked naked naked
I've been losing, I'VE been lost
Endless hours with my thoughts
I've been running running
I've been waiting, I'm on hold
I need you cause now I'm cold
I stop running running
And I know you don't know
But if you knew
I can let you go, I wish you knew
I know you don't know
So I have been running
I wanna get under your skin
I wanna see you naked naked naked
So baby let me in
I wanna see you naked naked naked
Naked naked naked naked naked
