Don't Look

[Intro — silky breathy female vocal, cool and understated, floating over sparse 808] I know you're watching I counted on it [Verse 1 — silky breathy female R&B verse, effortless, gliding behind the beat] Walked in slow like I got nowhere to be Every conversation stopped — courtesy of me You're pretending that your drink needs a stir Boy, your reflection's in my mirror, I'm sure [Pre-Chorus — soft soul runs rising, warm and controlled] I never say hello, I never say goodbye I just exist... and watch you try [Chorus — all five voices, silky stacked female harmonies, smooth locked hook, groove-led not belted] Don't look — but you already did Don't fall — but you already slipped I ain't even move, and you lost your place Whole room orbiting my face Don't look... don't look... you did [Verse 2 — cold low female rap, slow and unbothered, icy precise delivery] Quiet girl. Loud effect. You spent all night earning one sec. I gave you nothing. You framed it. Named your whole week after me. I claimed it. No number. No name. No trace. Just a memory wearing my face. [Pre-Chorus — soft soul runs rising, warm and controlled] I never say hello, I never say goodbye I just exist... and watch you try [Chorus — all five voices, silky stacked female harmonies, smooth locked hook, groove-led not belted] Don't look — but you already did Don't fall — but you already slipped I ain't even move, and you lost your place Whole room orbiting my face Don't look... don't look... you did [Bridge — weathered bluesy female rasp, slow burn, intimate over slide guitar] Sugar, they've been staring since before you came around Some fires don't need wood... they just don't go out [Final Chorus — all five voices, fullest arrangement, soul diva runs ad-libbed high over the top, held note at the end] Don't look — but you already did Don't fall — but you already slipped I ain't even move, and you lost your place Whole room orbiting my face Don't look... don't look... you did [Post-Chorus — all five voices trading ad-libs over the full groove, playful and unbothered, harmonies swelling] You did, you did — I saw it all Eyes down, baby, watch the wall You did, you did — no use denying Whole room caught, no use hiding [Outro — groove keeps rolling, silky lead vocal ad-libbing softly, harmonies echoing "don't look... you did," slow fade over eight bars] Mm... told you I always know Don't look... you did Don't look... you did ...I counted on it
