Getting It Off My Chest

The temperatures dropped by ten degrees
It’s cold I’m sitting and hugging my knees
So I’d better come clean and get it off my chest
I’m back to wearing my thermal vest
But it’s just another layer to peel
When my body I want to reveal
Some come back sunshine you are beyond compare
Then I’m back to wearing skimpy underwear
