I've got a heart like an onion baby
there's layers you'll never know
And deep rings of desire darlin'
you'd better take it nice and slow

Cause if you cut me without thinkin'
well then can't help but make you cry

You know some hearts are Strawberry's
got that Valentine thing going on
They're so ripely red and juicy
n' you can have them for a song

So fly away now sweet darlin'
they don't grow here in my home

Gotta dig a little deeper
n' try to go that extra mile
If you want to have all of me
see how bright my eyes can smile

A woman who's got some layers
gonna last a good long while

Oh, I LOVE this! I love it that you've moved on from your usual more formal style (which I liked fine) to this bluesy colloquial voice, and I love the off-rhyme of "going on" and "song"

this is funny... at first i thought strawberry's was misspelled(sp?)lol... i like:
"Cause if you cut me without thinkin'/well then can't help but make you cry", and,
"Gotta dig a little deeper/n' try to go that extra mile". love the title.
