[Title: Under This Costume] [Spoken Intro - Female] Everybody keeps asking who I'm supposed to be. Tonight? I'm somebody who says what she wants. [Verse 1] They know the woman with the calendar full The one who keeps her voice down, keeps her cool Tonight there's velvet falling from my shoulders And I feel like letting somebody get closer You ask if I'm a queen or a midnight thief I say, "Depends on what you think you're giving me" A little of your time would be a place to start Let's see if you can hold a conversation after dark [Pre-Chorus] There's a side of me I haven't introduced She's been waiting for a night like this If you want to know her, pull that chair a little closer Let me finish what I started with this smile [Chorus] Under this costume I'm still the woman I was yesterday But tonight I'm saying something I might usually tuck away I'd like your hand around my waist I'd like a little room to play Under this costume I'm finding words I want to say [Verse 2] Maybe I like being asked to take the floor Maybe I'll be the one who asks for more Maybe I enjoy a little make-believe You can play the stranger sitting next to me Say, "Have we met?" and I'll say, "Not like this" Let me decide how far the story gets When I start laughing, don't step out of the scene That's just what having a good time sounds like with me [Bridge] Tomorrow I may wear my glasses Hair tied back, running late But when I see your number I might remember how you said my name And that woman in the mirror Won't feel quite so far away [Final Chorus] Under this costume I'm still the woman I was yesterday But tonight I'm saying something I might usually tuck away I'd like your hand around my waist I'd like a little room to play Under this costume I'm finding words I want to say [Spoken Outro - Female] Now ask me who I am again. I think I've got a better answer.
