Tell Me More (feat. Akane Ohùntúndé)

[Intro — Soft guitar, bass enters] [Mischievous spoken female voice] Mmm… Look at you. All that courage… In a sentence. Go on, baby. [Verse 1 — Playful, silky] Bread on the table, wine in my glass You take your time, I let it pass That velvet voice, that wicked smile I could listen for a little while You say “imagine,” I say “I do” You paint a picture, I look at you I fold my hands, I play along But there’s a little clock beneath this song [Pre-Chorus — Rising anticipation] I love a story I love suspense But sugar, we’re running Out of pretense [Chorus — Catchy, flirtatious] Tell me more, tell me more Make a little trouble at my door Tell me more, tell me more I wanna know what you’re waiting for Take your time, take your chance I like your mouth, I love this dance Tell me more, tell me more But don’t leave me wanting more [Post-Chorus — Breathy harmonies] Ooh, la-la, you know what I like Ooh, la-la, keep me up tonight Mmm… tell me more… [Verse 2 — Bolder, rhythmically playful] Your watch reads late, your coat’s still on My favorite record’s come and gone I touch your sleeve, you lose your place There goes that speech all over your face You want a sign? Look where I stand Not every invitation needs a plan You talk about fire, I hand you the spark Now what are we doing alone in the dark? [Pre-Chorus — Stronger, impatient] I’ve given you green lights I’ve given you space Don’t make me spell it While you stare at my face [Chorus — Bigger, layered harmonies] Tell me more, tell me more Make a little trouble at my door Tell me more, tell me more I wanna know what you’re waiting for Take your time, take your chance I like your mouth, I love this dance Tell me more, tell me more But don’t leave me wanting more [Instrumental Break — Funk bass, wah guitar, sparkling synth] [Bridge — Music softens, intimate and breathy] All that velvet, all that flair Baby, I was never scared I don’t need a forecast, don’t need a vow I know what I want, and I want it now You keep talking about paradise I’ve watched the ice melt twice You know I’m ready, you know I’m sure So tell me, darling… [One-beat silence] What are you waiting for? [Final Chorus — Full groove returns, assertive female vocal] DON’T tell me more! Don’t tell me more! I’ve heard every word and I don’t need more! Come on close, close the door You know what these eyes are asking for No more maybes, no encore All that pretty talk? I’m keeping score I’ve heard enough, I’ve heard enough If you mean it, then SHOW ME MORE! [Final Hook — Funky, triumphant] Show me more! Show me more! That’s what all this waiting’s for! Show me more! Show me more! Baby, I don’t need words anymore! [Outro — Bass and guitar drop out] [Soft, amused female voice] Mmm. See? Was that so difficult? [Quiet satisfied laugh] [End]
