Washin' N Wonderin' / Washin' + Wonderin' Lyrics - Stroke 9

This song appears on both Bumper to Bumper and Nasty Little Thoughts, but according to the album books the lyrics are slightly different. Also, you may have noticed that for some reason the title of the song was changed from "N" to "+". I don't know who made this decision or why they decided to make it. 

Washin' N Wonderin' 

(AKA the Bumper to Bumper Version) 

----------------------------------- 

this just in, where to begin 

grin and bear it, it's bear and grim 

adoration, titilation 

I'm a victim now 

because she's figured me out 

she lights my candle 

she has a handle on me 

it's goin well but I'm scared as hell 

that she'll figure me out 

she thinks it sacred 

to be naked 

but I don't care 

she's had me there 

you see she's figured me out 

and I want to shout 

at the top of my lungs now 

but oh my god 

if she hears me she'll come runnin in 

these are my hands 

these are my faults 

these are my nasty little thoughts 

I wrote em down for you to contemplate 

at a later date 

well the word is out, what's it all about 

doubtless shady, no shadow of doubt 

in moderation this sensation would be fabulous 

but she's figured me out 

she's in my shower, for an hour 

she's just washin' n wonderin 

and trying to figure me out 

well, you're out there, just stay out there 

I won't hear but be careful man 

hey careful man 

and I'm sleeping now 

you'll be creeping round 

just when I was on to something else 

that's when she figures me out 

Washin' + Wonderin' 

(AKA the Nasty Little Thoughts Version) 

------------------------------------------ 

This just in...where to begin 

Grin and bear it, it's bear and grim 

Adoration, titilation, I'm the victim now 

Because she's figured me out 

She lights my candle, she has a handle on me 

It's going well but I'm scared as hell 

That she'll figure me out 

She thinks it's sacred to be naked 

But I don't care, 'cause she's had me there 

You see she's figured me out 

And I wanna shout at the top of my lungs now 

But oh my god, if she hears me she'll come running in... 

These are my hands, these are my faults 

These are my plans 

These are my nasty little thoughs 

I wrote 'em down for you to contemplate 

at a later date 

Well the word is out, what's it all about 

Doubtless shady, no shadow of doubt 

In moderation, this sensationwould be fabulous 

But she's figured me out 

She's in my shower for an hour 

She's just washin' and wonderin' 

And trying to figure me out... 

It's a little bit of something that I feel... 

Oh man, I just can't deal... 

And other than this distance that has covered me 

Can't you see that you have smothered me 

Well, you're out there, just stay out there 

Just when I was on to something else 

That's when she figures me out
