I dressed and put on my perfume As if I were going to see you tonight I fixed my hair and wore my stones As if were going to see you tonight But then I saw the thick layer of makeup masking my face And the black surrounding my eyes... That's when it hit me I wasn't dressing to see you Because If I were I'd be in my simplest Most naked Most raw Nature of human kind.

"Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth"
I dressed and put on my perfume As if I were going to see you tonight I fixed my hair and wore my stones As if were going to see you tonight But then I saw the thick layer of makeup masking my face And the black surrounding my eyes... That's when it hit me I wasn't dressing to see you Because If I were I'd be in my simplest Most naked Most raw Nature of human kind.
