I'll take you to learn
You're gonna burn

And even though I already knew he was gay, I didn't comprehend he was just as much talking to his audience as he was seducing an imaginary person within the song. He was begging his audience to see him naked, his true self.

Understand me (understand me).

Maybe this time is forever.

Say it can be, whoa."
