[Intro — dirty Delta fuzz riff, loose drums, thick bass, guitar crawling around the vocal entrance] [Verse 1] Hey, dummy, I’m in love with you You can feel the fire with my touch The burning desire in my kiss You won’t be able to resist much I’ve been standing right beside you While you’re looking everywhere I could paint it on the damn wall And you still wouldn't know it's there [Brandy answers — short dirty bend] [Pre-Chorus] I ain't asking for forever I ain't asking for a ring I'm just wondering how a grown man Can be missing everything [Chorus] Hey, dummy I'm talking to you How many ways You need me to prove I've been dropping every hint I've been giving every sign If you don't wake up soon You might run out of time Hey, dummy What am I supposed to do? I'm standing right here In love with you [Extended double-tracked fuzz-blues guitar — Brandy teasing, bending and sliding around the groove] [Verse 2] You tell me that I'm beautiful Then wonder why I smile You put your hand around my waist Then disappear awhile You call me when you're lonely You miss me when I'm gone Then when I'm standing next to you You act like nothing's going on [Brandy answer] [Pre-Chorus] Boy, I'm running out of patience And you're running out of room I've been waiting for you long enough To figure out the truth [Chorus] Hey, dummy I'm talking to you How many ways You need me to prove I've been dropping every hint I've been giving every sign If you don't wake up soon You might run out of time Hey, dumb-ass What am I supposed to do? I'm standing right here In love with you [Breakdown — bass and kick, vocal close and low] I'm not gonna chase you I'm not gonna beg And I sure as hell ain't waiting While you scratch your damn head You've got one good woman Standing right in front of you So open your eyes, baby Before I'm through [Extended double-tracked heavy Delta fuzz solo — Brandy gets cocky; dirty bends, slides, rakes, sustained vibrato, plenty of space] [Final Chorus — band heavier] Hey, dummy I'm talking to you This might be the last time I spell it out for you You can feel the fire Every time we touch You can taste desire Every time we kiss But love don't wait forever And neither will I So if you want this woman Boy, you'd better decide [Drop — vocal almost spoken] Hey, dummy... I'm in love with you. Don't make me regret it. [Extended outro — Brandy laughing/teasing through dirty Delta fuzz; no more vocals]
