Teena Marie

Naked To The World

Hello stranger, don't say a word

'Cause we haven't got much time

So for now just hold me

I'm wishing on a star, baby, to follow where you are

And to shine, like you shined when your love was mine

Before we were, now what we are

Baby, there's a silence that's golden in my eyes

And if you'd just listen my lips will tell you why

That when I say that I'm a lonely girl

I'm feeling like I'm naked to the world

And if you leave with my defenses down

I'll never hear another sound but my heart

Beating-hush don't explain

'Cause we've got to make the most

Out of every moment

I'm wishing, wishing on a star to follow where you are

And though the time moves so fast in the hourglass

Can you give me now what you are

Baby there was winter in our discontent

And if you just listen I'll tell you what I meant

That when I say that I'm a lonely girl

I'm feeling like I'm naked to the world

And if you leave with my defenses down

I'll never hear another sound but my heart

Beating, beating-whoa, whoa, whoa

Naked to the silence that's ringing, ringing in my ears

And if you'd just listen my lips are gonna tell you dear

That when I say that I'm a lonely girl

I'm feeling like I'm naked

I'm feeling like I'm naked

I'm feeling like, I'm feeling like I'm naked

Naked, naked to the world

Naked to the, naked to the world

That when I say that I'm a lonely girl

Oh I can't stand it-No, I can't stand it

That ain't the way no-that ain't the way God planned it

Naked to the world, I'm just a lonely girl

I'm living in a lonely world

And if you walk out my door

I won't be able to stand no more
