Songtexte I Want You to Know Me - Emerson

Feeling the hunger
Lightning and thunder
You're looking at me
Like something to eat

Wanting to bite back
'Cause I know you'd like that
But at what cost?
A gain or a loss?

Tryna figure out your motives
What about me do you notice?
What's got you hooked?
Is it my looks?

If I cover up
Would I still be enough?
Gotta learn the difference between body and brain
Gonna have to start all over again

Don't wanna earn your love
With my clothes off
Gonna have to get to my heart and soul
Gonna have to get with my baggy clothes

Not just a trophy
I want you to know me
To look at my life
Not a shirt that's tight

You know I'm a keeper
Just don't be a creeper
All up in my skin
Like I'm just a thing

You're just craving intimacy
I'm looking for permanency
From the start
Y'know?
A heart to heart?

If I cover up
Would I still be enough?
Gotta learn the difference between body and brain
Gonna have to start all over again

Don't wanna earn your love
With my clothes off
Gonna have to get to my heart and soul
Gonna have to get with my baggy clothes

Want me as one of your meals
Forgetting my ideals
Tryna to stop what is real

Thinking bad things
Is this love or a fling?
Don't know your intentions
But you've got my attention

You've got my attention

(If I cover up)
(Would I still be enough?)
(Gotta learn the difference between body and brain)
(Gonna have to start all over again)

Don't wanna earn your love
With my clothes off
Gonna have to get to my heart and soul
Gonna have to get with my baggy clothes
