Masks Off
What can I say
when you present yourself this way,
perfect girl, always coiffed and calm,
put together every day.
What should I do,
for four months I’ve been dating you,
but inside don’t know what’s going on,
what you love or think is true.
Take your mask off woman, I tell you,
and show what you’re hiding me,
take your mask of woman, I tell you,
show me everything you want to be,
take your mask off woman, I tell you,
and I’ll lose this mask of my own.
It’s far time that we be truthful,
from there who knows where we’ll go.
I want to know
the things all going on below,
must be more than a pretty face;
when I ask, where do you go?
I want to see
the whole woman that’s before me,
even men want more than just sex,
show me something I can believe.
Take your mask off woman, I tell you,
and show what you’re hiding me,
take your mask of woman, I tell you,
show me everything you want to be,
take your mask off woman, I tell you,
and I’ll lose this mask of my own.
It’s far time that we be truthful,
from there who knows where we’ll go.
Why be afraid,
we’ll both find out someday.
say what you’ll say,
let the chips fall where they may.
If we’re unfit,
don’t you want to know it?
And if we’re fine,
then let’s not waste any time!
Take your mask off woman, I tell you,
and show what you’re hiding me,
take your mask of woman, I tell you,
show me everything you want to be,
take your mask off woman, I tell you,
and I’ll lose this mask of my own.
It’s far time that we be truthful,
from there who knows where we’ll go.
