If I Catch You With Your Clothes Off
Caught in Vulnerability: Love's Raw Test
Lyrics
If I catch you with your clothes off baby
If I find you undressed, my dear
When your polyester guard is not around
When your protective facade is absent
Will you love me like the stars
Will you express affection for me like the celestial bodies?
Will you sell me cheap cigars
Will you provide me with inexpensive cigars?
If I catch you when your pants are down
If I discover you exposed in a compromising situation
If you answer to this phrase I give you
If you respond to my statement
You have surely missed the yacht at noon
You have likely missed an important opportunity
And the boat that sails away
The departing ship will leave you stranded where you are
Will leave you sleeping where you lay
(Possibly implying an unfavorable outcome)
If you answer yes or no too soon
If you answer too quickly with either yes or no
Are your lips a little sore from speaking
Are your lips experiencing discomfort from talking?
Is your conscience stranded in Beirut
Is your moral sense in a difficult or confusing situation?
If I lead you to the edge
If I bring you to a critical point
Will you cast me off the ledge
Will you reject or abandon me?
If I catch you in your birthday suit
If I catch you in the nude
And if I catch you with your tan lines showing
If I discover you with visible tan lines
Will the trembling in my arms cause me to drown
Will the intensity of my emotions cause me harm?
Will you rescue me in haste
Will you rescue me promptly?
With a sample or a taste
With a small amount or a preview?
If I catch you when your pants are down
If I find you exposed in a compromising situation
If I catch you with your clothes off baby
If I find you undressed, my dear
When your polyester guard is not around
When your protective facade is absent
Will you love me like the stars
Will you express affection for me like the celestial bodies?
Will you sell me cheap cigars
Will you provide me with inexpensive cigars?
If I catch you when your pants are down
If I discover you exposed in a compromising situation
