You didn’t come for the surface… You stayed for the woman under it. I had a fire I kept unnamed A quieter life behind my face Men wanted the shape they could look at You wanted the soul in its place. You looked at me like I was real Not a night you could replace... You desired the woman I already was Not the heat you hoped I’d perform That’s when something in me opened That’s when I became more You unlocked the woman in me... The fire, the passion, the hunger I hid I never knew how loud I could be Till you loved the woman I already lived Don’t take the body and miss the name You wanted me So I caught flame (Ahh…) I used to think desire was taken Something done to a quieter heart. Then you stayed when the lights were honest And wanted my mind as a part. That’s not hunger teaching me chaos That’s a woman learning her start You desired the woman I already was Not a fantasy wearing my skin That’s why the fire doesn’t shame me That’s why I let you in I was sleeping in my own life You called the woman by her name Now the night knows how to hold me Now I don’t shrink from the flame (Ahh—ahhh—ahhh) I am her Because you saw her (Ahh—) You unlocked the woman in me The fire, the passion, the hunger I hid I never knew how loud I could be Till you loved the woman I already lived Don’t take the body and miss the name You wanted me So I caught flame This heart, this fire, this woman Has a place now Because you stayed (Ahh…) You wanted the woman… So she could finally stand.
