In the raw
In the raw
In the raw
In the raw

Don't choose too fast
You can't judge a book by it's cover
Make sure that what you see is what you get
And red between the lines

Don't place too much faith
In someone else's reputation
Watch closely, they might be just a shadow
Of the person they're supposed to be

In the raw
Just can't fake it
Gonna see what you're made of
In the raw
I can't change it
Everybody's got their own way

In the raw (In the raw)
In the raw (In the raw)

Girl, you look at me
But only see what's on the surface
And I might just be with you expect of me
There's that possibility

Just strip away your thought
And only speak what's on your mind
Cause whatever I tell you, you know it's from the heart And that's the bottom line (Woo)

In the raw
Just can't fake it
Gonna see what you're made of
In the raw
I can't change it
Everybody's got their own way

In the raw
In the raw

In the raw
There's nowhere to run, nowhere to hide
From what you really are inside
You never gain from tellin' lies
The truth wears no disguise

In the raw
That's the only way to find out

In the raw
Some try their luck at love for years
They waste their time and so many tears
To make sure love's on solid ground
You've got break it down

In the raw
That's the only way to find out, oh, ho, ooh
In the raw
So let's break it down to the real thing

Girl, you look at me
But only see what's on the surface
And I might just be with you expect of me
There's that possibility

Just strip away your thought
And only speak what's on your mind
Cause whatever I tell you, you know it's from the heart
And that's the bottom line (Woo)

From what you really are inside
You never gain from tellin' lies
The truth wears no disguise

They waste their time and so many tears
To make sure love's on solid ground
You've got break it down
