[Intro] (Upbeat funky bassline, clipped guitar, bright keys) Ha... yeah! Don't look at me like that, girl. I'm just having fun. (Keep it light, keep it light...) [Verse 1] You caught me checking up on where you’ve been, Asking your best friend who you were with at ten. I played it off real quick, made a funny joke, Told her I was just checking on the words she spoke. I got my jacket on, ready for the door, Acting like I don't care who you’re looking for. But every time your phone rings on the table stand, I wanna snatch it up and take it in my hand. [Pre-Chorus] I keep telling everybody we’re just kicking it free, No strings attached, no heavy warranty. I’m putting on a show, acting cool and brave, Trying hard to ride this casual little wave. [Chorus] I gotta keep it light, gotta keep it cool, Don't wanna look like a heavy-hearted fool. Laughing through the evening, playing my part, Hiding the affection growing in my heart. Yeah, keep it light, don't let the feelings show, Pretending that I’m totally ready to go. It’s a funny little lie that I tell all night, Gotta keep it light... (yeah, keep it light!) [Verse 2] We went out with the crew to the corner spot, You danced with somebody else, and I got real hot. I ordered another drink, turned my head away, Telling myself I got nothing to say. You came over smiling, asking if I’m fine, I said, "Baby, I’m great, just enjoying my wine." Lying through my teeth with a cheerful grin, While the jealousy is burning me up within. [Pre-Chorus] I keep telling everybody we’re just kicking it free, No strings attached, no heavy warranty. I’m putting on a show, acting cool and brave, Trying hard to ride this casual little wave. [Chorus] I gotta keep it light, gotta keep it cool, Don't wanna look like a heavy-hearted fool. Laughing through the evening, playing my part, Hiding the affection growing in my heart. Yeah, keep it light, don't let the feelings show, Pretending that I’m totally ready to go. It’s a funny little lie that I tell all night, Gotta keep it light... (yeah, keep it light!) [Bridge] (Funk guitar solo, bass breakdown, claps) Who am I fooling? I’m falling real fast, This front that I’m putting up ain't gonna last. I wanna hold your hand, wanna claim your time, Instead of acting like everything is fine! [Final Chorus] (Full high-energy groove, expressive ad-libs, stacked harmonies) I gotta keep it light (I can't keep it light!), gotta keep it cool, Don't wanna look like a heavy-hearted fool. Laughing through the evening, playing my part (playing my part), Hiding the affection growing in my heart. Yeah, keep it light, don't let the feelings show, Pretending that I’m totally ready to go. It’s a funny little lie that I tell all night, Gotta keep it light... [Outro] Yeah... Keep it light, Malik. Who are you kidding? (Fade out)
