[Title: The Treat Was Being Me] [Spoken Intro - Female] I thought the best part would be the costume. Or the way you'd look when I walked in. But you know what? I surprised myself. [Verse 1] There's a ribbon on the dresser, shoes beside the door My favorite song still playing from the night before I take the earrings off and catch myself a smile Haven't looked this happy in a little while I asked you for the dance, I told you what I liked Didn't spend the evening trying to get it right You gave me room to finish every little thought And I found I had more courage than I thought [Pre-Chorus] Yes, I liked the way you held me Yes, I'd like to meet again But something good came home with me Before the evening reached its end [Chorus] The treat was being me Saying what I wanted easily Letting someone see that playful side Without explaining every reason why The kiss was sweet, your company was too And I meant every word I said to you But underneath the lace and mystery The treat was being me [Verse 2] You called and asked if I enjoyed the masquerade I said, "I think I found a part of me that stayed" You said, "I'd like to take that woman out again" I said, "She's checking Friday, let me pencil you in" No velvet crown required, no silver invitation Just dinner and a little more conversation I might wear the red dress, I might wear my jeans Either way, you'll know exactly who you're meeting [Bridge] I don't have to leave her With the costume on the chair That woman with the easy laugh Can go with me anywhere Maybe Halloween just gave me An excuse to take the floor Now I know I like the feeling I might do it a little more [Final Chorus] The treat was being me Saying what I wanted easily Letting someone see that playful side Without explaining every reason why The kiss was sweet, your company was too And I meant every word I said to you But underneath the lace and mystery The treat was being me [Closing Vamp - Call and Response] What did you come for? [I came for the treat] What did you find there? [A little more of me] Will I see you Friday? [You know where I'll be] Save a little slow dance [And a little time for me] [Spoken Outro - Female] Same woman. A little bolder. Happy Halloween, gentleman.
