Naked
Suzi Rawn Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I miss you, oh I miss you
Feeling swept away, there's no barricade without you
What can I do
And everything protecting me has all been stripped away
'Cause I'm naked without you around
And I feel naked from the inside out
You always seem to shelter me somehow
When I feel naked
I could try to change but nothing fits the way that you do
Oh yeah you do
From every stranger's eyes you're my best disguise
I need you, I still need you
And everything that covers me has all been stripped away
'Cause I'm naked without you around
You cover up the emptiness when I'm filled with doubt
And I feel naked from the inside out
You always seem to shelter me somehow
When I feel naked
The moments we share are all that I wear
It's cold without you
Now I have to try to get through another night
Naked, I feel naked
'Cause I'm naked without you around
You cover up the emptiness when I'm filled with doubt
And I feel naked from the inside out
You always seem to shelter me somehow
