[Intro – Rhodes, bass, soft drums] Mm-hm Yeah [Verse 1] You walked in slow Like you knew the room Like every pair of eyes Would make a little room for you You didn’t say much You didn’t have to try You had that kind of trouble That knows how to wear a tie I watched you smiling Over somebody’s glass And I knew before you touched me This was never built to last [Pre-Chorus] I could’ve turned away I could’ve let you pass But some mistakes look better When they’re walking straight at you like that [Chorus] I saw you coming Still I let you in Knew where you were going Before we even began I saw you coming And I knew what you’d do But knowing better never stopped me From wanting you No, knowing better never stopped me From wanting you [Verse 2] You like your women A little hard to read You like to leave them wondering If they ever had what you need But I’m not waiting For some midnight call I don’t need your promises I never asked for them at all You can play it easy You can play it cool But don’t mistake me wanting you For thinking I’m a fool [Pre-Chorus] I know your kind of charm I know that little game You leave before the morning And somehow they still say your name [Chorus] I saw you coming Still I let you in Knew where you were going Before we even began I saw you coming And I knew what you’d do But knowing better never stopped me From wanting you No, knowing better never stopped me From wanting you [Instrumental – blues guitar, Hammond response] [Bridge – drums pull back] Don’t tell me forever Don’t tell me you’ve changed Don’t make this something pretty Just to give it a name Come a little closer Let the silence do the rest I’m not asking for your future I’m just asking for your best [Build – bass and drums return] And when you leave I won’t ask where you’ve been I knew exactly what this was The second you walked in [Final Chorus] I saw you coming Still I let you in Knew where you were going Before we even began I saw you coming Saw the smoke, saw the flame But there are some kinds of trouble Worth remembering by name I saw you coming And I knew what you’d do But knowing better never stopped me From wanting you Never stopped me Never stopped me [Outro – Rhodes, organ, bass] Mm-hm I saw you coming [fade]
