[Intro] [Tight snare on two and four, warm bass in, Hammond B3 Leslie swell] [Muted trumpet motif, two bars, then it answers itself] [Verse 1] You don't raise your voice You never had to One look across the room And I already know what to do You tap the table twice I set the glass down slow The night leans in a little Like it already knows [Pre-Chorus] No speech, no show, no scene Just the way you hold the air And I go where you mean [Chorus] At your word I stay At your word I move You barely even ask me And I give you all the room At your word I wait At your word I fold If this is how you keep me Keep me like you told [Verse 2] Your hand finds the small of my back Not hard, just sure You turn me down the hallway Like you've done it before You say not yet, love And the whole groove holds I could break the silence But I like it when you don't [Pre-Chorus] No lock, no speech, no scene Just the way you take the air And I go where you mean [Chorus] At your word I stay At your word I move You barely even ask me And I give you all the room At your word I wait At your word I fold If this is how you keep me Keep me like you told [Bridge] [Drums drop to rim and kick, Hammond in the low end, trumpet long and low] This ain't a cage I hate This ain't a door I work You set the pace, I match it Early, slow, or sure If you ever dropped the thread I'd still be in this room Not because you made me Because I like the way you do [Trumpet solo] [Eight bars over the full groove — Hammond chopping, bass walking a little, trumpet singing then biting] [Final Chorus] [Backing vocals in, bigger Hammond, trumpet answering the last line of each phrase] At your word I stay At your word I move You barely even ask me And I give you all the room At your word I wait At your word I fold If this is how you keep me Keep me like you told [Outro] [Groove stays hot two bars, then strips back to bass, snare, Leslie] At your word… I stay [Trumpet answers once, Hammond fades on the swirl]
