Well … not me, anyway. And when Nortina (Naughtyna) made reference to the subject it was like honey to this bee. And so I ran with her idea (though not with, it should perhaps be stressed, her consent).

Show me every inch of you
Show me how you’re made
Expose to me the hidden bits
The secrets you won’t trade
Show me what you’re hiding
From your head down to your toes
Show me all the special things
Those things nobody knows
Show me where you’re going
And where you’ve been so far
When you show me what’s inside of you
You’ll show me who you are

I love that line –
When you show me what’s inside of you
You’ll show me who you are
