Spice Girls - Naked

"Naked" it's a track from the album 'Spice'. It deals with vulnerability and the step from girls to women and how this process made the group stronger, something they were experiencing at that moment. It received mixed reviews from critics; some described it as "soulful and funky as anything by TLC or Brand New Heavies", while others considered the song as a "bit of a let down". The girls went on to write "Something Kinda Funny", "Last Time Lover" and "Naked" with Watkins and Wilson, none of them singles, but all of them tracks which lent a touch of classy R&B feeling to the Spice album.

Lyrics

Naivety and childhood left behind deprived of the goodness of mankind,
past encounters have made her strong, strong enough to carry on and on,
Undress you with her eyes, uncover the truth from the lies,
Strip you down don't need to care, lights are low exposed and bare

Naked
Nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked
She wants to play seek and hide, no-one to hide behind
Naked
This child has fallen from grace
Naked
Don't be afraid to stare she is only naked

She knows exactly what to do with men like you,
Inside out in her mind there's no doubt where you're coming from
mystery will turn you on.
Undress you with her eyes, uncover the truth from the lies,
Strip you down don't need to care, lights are low exposed and bare

Naked
Nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked
She wants to play seek and hide, no-one to hide behind
Naked
This child has fallen from grace
Naked
Don't be afraid to stare she is only naked

Hello, it's me
I thought you'd understand
Well maybe I should have kept my mouth shut
I keep seeing such a pretty picture
I'd rather be hated than pitied
Maybe I should have left it to your imagination
I just want to be me

This angel's dirty face is sore, holding on to what she had before.
Not sharing secrets with any old fool, now she's gonna keep her cool
She wants to get naked
She wants to get naked

Naked
Nothing but a smile upon her face
Naked
She wants to play seek and hide, no-one to hide behind
Naked
This child has fallen from grace
Naked
Don't be afraid to stare she is only naked

[Repeat to fade]
