I have a different version on my Apple phone as well. It’s hard to make out some of the lyrics (which is why I came in the first place) but I will write down what I think it says.\n\nYou are my friend\nSo why don’t you care?\nI am afraid\nI am afraid. \n\n(Chorus)\nBaby, I feel fine.\nBaby, I feel fine.\nBaby, I feel fine.\n(Then it either says, not sure which:)\nWhen I’m with you\n(Or maybe:)\nWithout you\n(Or perhaps:)\nWhen I’m naked.\n\nRepeats chorus again.\n\nRepeats chorus again, but also repeats the last line 3 times.\n\nThis may sound like a very simplistic and repetitive song, but it’s the emotional agony and escalating energy in the chorus that makes each stanza different and delivers the powerful punch. This guy is trying to convince himself that he doesn’t need his lost love, but the louder her proclaims it, the more obvious he is lying.\n\nBTW, “Baby” might he “maybe”. And also, if he is saying “when I’m naked”, he’s being symbolic (when he is without her). Of course, it could also be when he’s literally naked and longing for the feel of her touch. (Probably both.)\n\nIt is a very painful and yet romantic song.
