Singer Joan Osborne was born on July 8, 1962, in the town of Anchorage, KY, but it wasn't until relocating to New York City in the early '90s (to study at N.Y.U.'s film school) that she began to take a singing career seriously after singing Billie Holiday's classic "God Bless the Child" at a local bar's "open mic night."

But eventually, Osborne decided to sign on with a major label, Mercury, which in turn issued the singer's next release, Relish, in March of 1995.

Let’s Just Get Naked Lyrics

Joan Osborne

I know what youre hidin from me
You know what Im hidin from you
I know that you hurt me real bad
You know that I hurt you bad too
Lets just get naked
Just for a laugh
Lets just get naked
Its a trip and a half
Here comes that story again
All about that television show
Here comes my typical response
Wont you tell me something I dont know
And Im pissed off about bein the cops
And youre pissed off about bein the maid
And how long till they shut off the phone
Till the next time we get laid
Lets just get naked
Just for a laugh
Lets just get naked
Its a trip and a half...
A trip and a half
Weve been together so long
I hope it wasnt just the drugs
What happened to the energy we had
The morning glories and the rodeo hugs
And I know you like the back of my hand
With a stamp that says I paid to get in
And yes I am your television show
And youre the nicest place Ive ever been
Lets just get naked
Just for a laugh
Lets just get naked
It wouldnt be so bad...
Lets just get naked
Just for a laugh
Lets just get naked
Its a trip and a half...
