“DEADLY DESIRE”

"DEADLY DESIRE" AI Artist: Mr. Gritty Witty Written by 12Gauge858 Music SPOKEN INTRO Mr. Gritty Witty (spoken) Now young blood… Pull that chair up. Lemme tell you about somebody I met a long time ago. Matter of fact… Lemme tell you about somebody a whole lotta men done met. Different name. Different city. Different face. Same game. She wasn’t looking for love. Wasn’t looking for loyalty. Wasn’t looking for forever. She was looking for opportunity. And if you wasn’t paying attention… You became it. (blues guitar bends) Listen carefully. ⸻ VERSE 1 She walked in slow through the smoke-filled room Every head turned when she made her move Black dress hugging every dangerous curve Knowing exactly what attention was worth Gold in her smile Ice in her eyes Telling pretty stories Wrapped in pretty lies Had a way of making every man believe He was the only one she’d ever need She’d laugh at your jokes Touch your arm just right Make a lonely man feel ten feet high You thinking you found something heaven sent While she calculating every dollar you spent ⸻ PRE-CHORUS See trouble don’t always announce itself Sometimes it arrives dressed better than everybody else And by the time you recognize the signs Your heart already crossed the line ⸻ CHORUS Deadly Desire was the name they called her A man’s kryptonite, temptation for hire She’d smile and the whole room froze Then leave with your soul and never look back Deadly Desire was the name they called her Make you feel like a king sitting high on a throne While she counting your pockets when nobody knows And you’re left in the dark standing all alone (Background Harmonies) Deadly Desire… Deadly Desire… A man’s kryptonite… Temptation for hire… ⸻ VERSE 2 She knew the luxury hotels downtown Knew every rich spot all around Champagne glasses and expensive perfume Setting perfect traps inside candlelit rooms Young blood thought he found a queen Living every man’s fantasy dream Meanwhile she already knew his name His weakness and his bank account the same Had him buying things he couldn’t afford Trying to impress somebody he barely knew Every compliment became a hook Every soft kiss another rope He couldn’t see what everybody else saw Because desire got a way of breaking laws ⸻ PRE-CHORUS Danger don’t always look dangerous Sometimes it arrives looking heaven-sent Wrapped in beauty and confidence While your common sense slowly gets spent ⸻ CHORUS Deadly Desire was the name they called her A man’s kryptonite, temptation for hire She’d smile and the whole room froze Then leave with your soul and never look back Deadly Desire was the name they called her Make you feel like a king sitting high on a throne While she counting your pockets when nobody knows And you’re left in the dark standing all alone ⸻ SPOKEN BREAK Mr. Gritty Witty (spoken) Now hear me carefully… This ain’t about women. This ain’t about men. This about predators. People who study weakness. People who learn what you hungry for… Then sell it back to you. See… Some folks wear masks. Some wear titles. Some wear expensive clothes. Some wear beautiful faces. But the game always the same. If somebody only loves what you provide… They never loved you. Remember that. ⸻ VERSE 3 Morning came and she was long gone Phone disconnected before the dawn Wallet missing Watch gone too Reality finally breaking through Hotel clerk said she’d done it before Different city Different score Different man with the same old pain Learning lessons the hard way again Now he sits at the bar where they met Staring at regrets he can’t forget Thinking about all the warning signs He ignored because he liked the shine ⸻ BRIDGE Some shape-shift into whatever you need A dream when you lonely A cure when you bleed But real love don’t empty your pockets dry Real love don’t disappear overnight Real love builds Real love stays Real love don’t play those games ⸻ FINAL CHORUS Deadly Desire was the name they called her A man’s kryptonite, temptation for hire She’d smile and the whole room froze Then leave with your soul and never look back Deadly Desire was the name they called her A beautiful thief wearing angel wings Selling illusions and broken dreams While chasing material things Deadly Desire was the name they called her Young blood don’t get blinded by fire Because some lessons cost too much When you’re dancing with Deadly Desire ⸻ OUTRO Mr. Gritty Witty (spoken) Yeah… A pretty face can open the door… But character tells you whether to walk through it. Remember that. Goodnight, young blood.
