I love how multi-layered her lyrics can be. So much to think about/look for.
Like, the chorus could be her poking fun at people/media looking for "the real Gaga"...it could be her inviting us to get a glimpse of a more raw and personal Gaga (hence "awrah"/nakedness and her nakedness in promo shots, including the one with her wearing the burqa mask)...or it could be about Taylor wanting to get to know the girl behind the star.
But yeah, people will assume the song is about burqas and sex. Completely missing the metaphor of the former (interchanging "do you wanna see behind the aura/curtain/burqa" should have been a clue, but whatever).
