[Intro] Yeah, baby, listen You know how I am You can drop a thousand hints I'm still your straightforward man [Verse 1] You give me little signals, think I'm catching every sign But they fly right over me, like they never crossed my mind You look at me a certain way, you think I understand But I'm standing there confused, just being who I am You drop a little clue, hoping I'll connect the dots Meanwhile, I'm completely clueless, missing everything you've got You could spell it in the stars, put it right before my eyes And I'd probably miss the message, baby, that's no surprise [Pre-Chorus] I'm trying to give you space, let you breathe and take your time Less cuddles, fewer kisses, trying not to cross the line But don't mistake my patience for not wanting something more 'Cause there's a whole lot of loving that I'm waiting for [Chorus] So whisper it in my ear, baby, make it crystal clear Tell me what you're thinking, tell me what you want right here I don't read between the lines, I never catch the clues I'm a straightforward kind of man, so make it easy to choose Whisper it in my ear, don't leave me guessing all night If you want a little more, baby, tell me outright From a kiss to something more, whatever you might feel Just come closer, whisper it, and I'll know that it's real [Verse 2] Even when you're in the mood, I might not see the sign You're dropping all these hints while I'm just passing time You might be saying, "Come a little closer," with your eyes While I'm thinking, "She's just comfy," never realizing why I ain't trying to leave you waiting, I ain't trying to play it cool I just never learned the language of your little hinting rules You could turn up all the signals, give me every little clue But unless you say it clearly, I might miss the message too [Pre-Chorus] I'm trying to get it right, trying not to be too much Giving you the room you need, being careful with my touch But baby, I still want you, more than just a kiss So if there's something on your mind, it's okay to speak [Chorus] So whisper it in my ear, baby, make it crystal clear Tell me what you're thinking, tell me what you want right here I don't read between the lines, I never catch the clues I'm a straightforward kind of man, so make it easy to choose Whisper it in my ear, don't leave me guessing all night If you want a little more, baby, tell me outright From a kiss to something more, whatever you might feel Just come closer, whisper it, and I'll know that it's real [Bridge] No secret codes, no guessing games You don't have to hint and hope I'll change Just take my hand and pull me near And tell me what you want me to hear If you're feeling flirty, let me know If you want me closer, tell me so And if you're in the mood for more Baby, whisper it, I'll hear you for sure I'll never want you doing anything you don't wanna do I just need to know what's on your mind, so I can understand you You can always say it, baby, there's no need to pretend A little whisper from my girl is all I need to comprehend [Final Chorus] Whisper it in my ear, baby, make it crystal clear Tell me what you're thinking, tell me what you want right here I'm not ignoring your signals, I just miss them every time So put those pretty little wishes into words that reach my mind Whisper it in my ear, baby, that's the way to go No more hoping I'll figure out what you already know From a cuddle to a kiss, to whatever you might feel Just come closer, whisper it, and I'll know that it's real [Outro] Yeah, baby, that's my plan I'm your straightforward kind of man You can give me all the hints But I might not understand So next time, baby, come real near Skip the clues and whisper in my ear Whatever's on your mind, whatever you wanna do Baby, I might miss the hint... But I'll always listen to you.
