Naked

Avril Lavigne · Let Go [2002]

I wake up in the morning, put on my face

The one that's gonna get me through another day

Doesn't really matter how I feel inside

This life is like a game sometimes



Then you came around me

The walls just disappeared

Nothing to surround me

And keep me from my fears

I'm unprotected

See how I've opened up

Oh, you've made me trust



CHORUS

Cause I've never felt like this before

I'm naked around you, does it show?

You see right through me and I can't hide

I'm naked around you and it feels so right



Yeah, yeah



I'm trying to remember why I was afraid

To be myself and let the covers fall away

Guess I never had someone like you

(To help me) To help me fit in my skin



CHORUS

Cause I've never felt like this before

I'm naked around you, does it show?

You see right through me and I can't hide

I'm naked around you and it feels so right



I'm naked, oh oh yeah

Does it show? Yeah, I'm naked

Oh-h, oh-h

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Oh-h

I'm naked around you, does it show?



I'm so naked around you and I can't hide

You're gonna, you're gonna see right through

(You see right through me and I can't hide)

You're gonna see right through (I'm naked around you)

Oh yeah



I'm so naked around you and I can't hide

You're gonna see right through baby
