Naked (Live)

So even in the crazy relationships
and the crazy experiences with love

I'm a firm believer that it is out there
and you first find it within yourself

It's within you

We are fearfully,
wonderfully, and beautiful made

I believe that with every fiber of my being

So this next song that I wrote
I'm gonna ask my boy Javaris

who played on the record with me
Make some noise for Javaris Gooding Butts

This song is about fully loving you

And you can't go to your next phase of love
If you don't love yourself

This song is called, "Naked"

It says,
I've been waiting
ahhhh
Waiting
Yo

I've been waiting

for you to see me like this

for every scar, every flaw
to lie bare on the floor

Don't wanna hear it no more
cause I've dealt with the pain
I've dealt with the heartbreak

I've made mistakes,
but that was back then, this is now

I'm ready to show you now
I'm ready to show you how I've grown

And, I've been waiting for you to see me naked... naked.

I'm not wearing insecurities.
Would you like that?
What else do you wanna see?

I haven't been in love like this in such a long time

Who'd ever thought the love of my life
would be staring into my eyes

When I look into the mirror,
I can see clearer now,

that I'm naked
Oh
It feels so good

to be naked
Would you join me?

Ooh

Take off all your flaws
Oh, yea

Undress every scar
Until you see

That we...
are naked

I wanna be

naked, naked, naked

Thank you.

Give it up for Javaris Gooding-Butts
on saxophone
