Lyrics

I'm scared of opening the can

I fear revealing my true self

Scared of changing who I am

Fearful of undergoing a transformation

Might've taken all I can

Possibly reached the limit of endurance

I'm scared of everything I am

Fearful of all aspects of my identity


Are you a natural woman?

Questioning someone's authenticity as a woman

I know I've got it comin..

Acknowledging consequences for past actions

The scent in the air

Sensory elements indicating a situation

And the water running

Flowing water and its metaphorical implications


The damage!

Emphasizing the impact of a negative event

She said she's not telling it today

Someone refusing to share information today

She said "Come back when you're alone"

Invitation to return when alone

"Come back when you're alone"

Repeated insistence to return solo

The damage The damage

Reiterating the concept of damage

The damage The damage

Continuing emphasis on damage

The damn damn dam damage

Intensifying the impact of damage


Are you a natural woman?

Questioning the authenticity of a woman

I know I've got it comin'

Acknowledging consequences for actions

Dissent in the air

Expressing disagreement in the air

And the water running

Water running as a symbolic element


Don't give me what's in the window, babe

Rejecting superficial offerings, seeking authenticity

I want the stuff you think would never sell

Desiring unconventional, genuine items

Whatcha have under the counter on the bottom shelf?

Asking for hidden, truthful aspects

I'll buy the lowdown deepdown primal truthful self

Willing to embrace one's true, primal self


I let the genie out of the box

Unleashing something powerful and uncontrollable

I let the genie out of the box

Repeating the act of releasing something powerful


Are you a natural woman?

Questioning the authenticity of a woman

I know I've got it comin'

Acknowledging consequences for actions

The scent in the air

Sensory elements indicating a situation

And the water running

Flowing water and its metaphorical implications


Are you a natural woman?

Questioning the authenticity of a woman

Tell me you're the million-to-one

Expressing uniqueness, rareness

Are you a natural woman?

Repeating the question about authenticity

Are you a natural woman?

Reiterating the inquiry about authenticity

I'm a natural man.

Asserting one's identity as a natural man
