| Who has sex with whom in the Trapped in the Closet world |

The song generally follows a storyline which continues through all the chapters. Kelly plays the role of the song's protagonist, Sylvester, who wakes up after a one-night stand with a woman. As he prepares to leave, however, the woman begs him to hide in a closet, as her husband is coming into the room, explaining the origin of the song's title. This sets off a series of events, which reveals a greater string of lies, sex, and deceit.

why are they no help to me now

And treason labouring in the traitor’s thought,
And midwife Time the ripened plot to murder brought.”
