Bret Michaels defends his "racy" duet with 17 year old Miley Cyrus

March 03, 2010 -- Poison front man Bret Michaels, 46, and teen sensation and 'Hannah Montana' star Miley Cyrus, 17, are teaming up. The two recorded a duet together that seems to be causing some controversy. Parents are already in an uproar over some of the racy lyrics in the 'Nothin To Lose' duet.




Lyrics such as "We both know better than this/Still we can't resist/Slowly get undressed" and "Won't you fall down on me/So close I can feel you breathe?" When ask about singing the lyrics with the 17 year old Cyrus, Michaels said; "As God is my witness, there is nothing I have to be defensive about," he said. "I'm a good dad. I just thought it was a beautiful song."



According to Us Weekly Magazine Michaels says that people have been going "nuts' and that he's received over "75 texts" about the content of the song. Michaels claims that he previously recorded the song two years ago and that it isn't originally a duet. But when Miley wanted to redo his classic 80's hit 'Every Rose Has It's Thorn' the two engaged in an impromptu jam session ultimately recording 'Nothin To Lose.'



"I never sat down and said, 'Look at the content. Look at the lyrical content," admits Michaels who has two daughters ages 9 and 4.
