In the Raw

In the raw, in the raw
 In the raw, in the raw
 Don't choose too fast
 You can't judge a book by it's cover
 Make sure that what you see is what you get
 And read between the lines
 Don't place too much faith
 In someone else's reputation
 Watch closely, they might be just a shadow
 Of the person they're supposed to be
 (In the raw)
 Just can't fake it
 Gonna see what you're made of
 (In the raw)
 I can't change it
 Everybody's got their own way
 In the raw
 (In the raw)
 In the raw
 (In the raw)
 Girl, you look at me
 But only see what's on the surface
 And I might just be what you expect of me
 There's that possibility
 Just strip away your thought
 And only speak what's on your mind
 'Cause whatever I tell you
 You know it's from the heart
 And that's the bottom line
 (In the raw)
 Just can't fake it
 Gonna see what you're made of
 (In the raw)
 I can't change it
 Everybody's got their own way
 In the raw
 In the raw
 (In the raw)
 There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
 From what you really are inside
 You never gain from tellin' lies
 The truth wears no disguise
 (In the raw)
 That's the only way to find out
 (In the raw)
 Some try their luck at love for years
 They waste their time and so many tears
 To make sure love's on solid ground
 You've got to break it down
 (In the raw)
 That's the only way to find out, oh, oh, ooh
 (In the raw)
 So let's break it down to the real thing
 Girl, you look at me
 But only see what's on the surface
 And I might just be what you expect of me

 You know it's from the heart
 And that's the bottom line
