Lyrics

[Verse 1]
(Yeah)
Oh-oh, babe, would you please be my
Subject? (My subject, yeah)
[Verse 2]
I lied, I said you were the truth
You took it as the truth
And now I got you
But I don't want you like that
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth
[Verse 3]
You knew and I knew
But you didn't want to hear
What I didn't want to tell you
And now we've got hard times
And now there's no love at home
When separate we feel so alone
But we can't stand to be together
To talk about it
Had time to I-N-C
My thoughts instead, our bodies
This can't be love
[Verse 4]
What if we produced a shorty?
Hard times would still be visual
Within this love, within our love
This can't be love
And that's the bare-naked
[Verse 5]
You took it as the truth
And now I got you
But I don't want you like that
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth
I said you were the truth
You took it as the truth
[Verse 6]
We can't stand to be together to talk about it
But we can't stand to be
Apart long enough to hear this thing, baby
You and I started off good, finding time to spend time
I said what you wanted to hear, yeah
Now you need to know the truth
[Verse 7]
I lied, I said you were the truth
You took it as the truth
And now I got you
But I don't want you like that (No, no)
There only lives one love
And of that you can't compare to
And that's the bare-naked truth
And you need to take that as the truth
[Verse 8]
If our words were truly fact
We'd probably still wouldn't have love
But we would love what we had
But we don't
Reality is we like
Now you and I must say goodbye
Can't you see the bare-naked start to speak?
[Verse 9]
I'm a young man (Yeah)
The world is mine
I shoulda been straight with you from the beginning
You probably wasn't even looking for a man
[Verse 10]
This time has been no doubt interesting
But now that we broke up
I'm thinking this might've been love
It coulda been love
(Damn, what the)
It's just my luck
