TALK WITH YOUR HANDS Ayoa [Intro — deep bass, finger snaps and warm Rhodes chords] (Female – Ayoa) Don’t say a word You’ve been talking all night Come closer… Let me hear you differently [Verse 1] (Female – Ayoa) You’ve been speaking with your eyes all night Every little glance is underlined I can read the question in your smile But don’t rush the answer—take your time Let the silence settle in the room Move a little closer to the groove Wait until you see that look from me Then say what you mean without speaking [Pre-Chorus] (Female – Ayoa) Wait for the green light in my smile Come closer, inch by inch I like somebody who can listen Before they move their fingertips [Chorus] (Female – Ayoa with soft female harmonies) You don’t gotta say it Talk with your hands Tell me what you want I understand Every little touch Got its own language Talk with your hands Talk with your hands Say it slow No need to shout I can feel what you’re talking about When words can’t say what passion can Talk with your hands [Post-Chorus] (Female – Ayoa with layered female vocals) Hands, hands Talk with your hands Slow, slow Make me understand [Verse 2 — smooth melodic singjay flow] (Female – Ayoa) Body language fluent, no translation Every move careful, full concentration You read every change in the way that I breathe Know when to hold and when to release No careless touch, you wait for the sign That kind of patience keeps you on my mind Respect makes the tension sweeter And every slow second pulls me in deeper Mi like how you ask without making a sound Then wait till my body says, “Come around” You don’t take—you let me decide That’s why I want you right here tonight [Chorus] (Female – Ayoa with female harmonies) You don’t gotta say it Talk with your hands Tell me what you want I understand Every little touch Got its own language Talk with your hands Talk with your hands Say it slow No need to shout I can feel what you’re talking about When words can’t say what passion can Talk with your hands [Blues Guitar Break — short, smoky and sensual] (Female – Ayoa, breathy ad-libs) Mmm… Keep talking Right there I hear you [Bridge — Rhodes and bass only] (Female – Ayoa) Say, “I want you” without a sound But let your heart mean it When morning comes around Anybody can reach But few know how to hold I like a lover Who can listen to my soul [Final Chorus] (Female – Ayoa with full female harmonies) You don’t gotta say it Talk with your hands Tell me what you want I understand Every little touch Got its own language Talk with your hands Talk with your hands Say it slow No need to shout I can feel what you’re talking about When words can’t say what passion can Talk with your hands [Outro — bass, Rhodes and fading harmonies] (Female – Ayoa) Hands, hands Talk with your hands Slow, slow Make me understand Don’t say a word… I hear everything [whisper] Ben, Ben, Bennie pon di riddim Ayoa and Bennie.. Mmmmhhhh
