In “Naked Heart”, Tuka expresses how an emotionally one-sided relationship can affect your state of mind. This song was written about the same person who inspired the Thundamentals song “Think About It”.
[Intro]
Baby, you only ever call me when your heart is broken
You got no game
Baby, you're lonely for me only for this moment
And it's so lame
Baby, once upon a time I said I'd be your boyfriend
You said no way
Baby, it's over now you tell me how I got you open
It's so strange
[Chorus]
Why?
Why did I fall in love?
Why did I fall in love
With a mind fuck like you?
Why?
Why did I fall in love?
Why did I fall in love?
(With a mind fuck like you)
[Verse 1]
Why'd you have to go and fuck my head?
I was trying to put my mind out the gutter
Now it's stuck up in this mess
Is that why you're on the fence?
Don't pretend you're gonna care (yeah)
Rapunzel, if you love me then let down your golden hair (yeah)
Suck it up, sorry if I'm unimpressed (yeah)
Spare me of that bullshit, it's bullshit nothing less (yeah)
Don't tell me what the truth is, the truth is I'm obsessed
Got me foolish when you wear that summer dress
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart is naked now that you're in it
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
(Yeah yeah yeah)
[Chorus]
Why?
Why did I fall in love?
Why did I fall in love
With a mind fuck like you?
Why?
Why did I fall in love?
Why did I fall in love?
(With a mind fuck like you)
[Verse 2]
I've seen it before, I can already tell
You're gonna run away, again
Keep the latch unlocked
And the windows wide open
In case you need a place to say
Again, I left the keys in the door
If it makes you feel better
I'm never gonna run away
Instead I take a seat on this porch
I wait here for ever
Pretend you never run away
Again
[Pre-Chorus]
My heart is naked now that you're in it
(Yeah yeah yeah yeah)
(Yeah yeah yeah)
[Chorus]
Why?
Why did I fall in love?
Why did I fall in love
With a mind fuck like you?
Why?
Why did I fall in love?
Why did I fall in love?
(With a mind fuck like you)
