Body Heat Boogie [Intro] Two steps closer Room changes keys Skin talks first Mouth don’t need (Feel that) [Harmony1] Ooh — body heat Ah — body heat Boogie on the pulse Boogie on the beat [Verse1] You ain’t even touched me and the weather turned Little climate sitting in the space between 808 knocks like a heart with a job Live drums grin like they know the scene Acoustic ticks, guitar gets mean Country-blues curl on the hook of the night I was cool when the door was a mile away Now I’m paying for standing this close to the light [Prechorus] Don’t back up Don’t you dare That heat got a rhythm And I live right there (Come on) [Chorus] Body heat boogie The second you get near Body heat boogie The air gets expensive in here Body heat boogie Ain’t love yet, it’s the fuse and the drum You close that last inch And the whole damn room goes numb (Move) [Harmony2] Body heat boogie Body heat boogie Close that inch Close that inch [Verse2] Shoulder to shoulder like a secret handshake Perfume and motor oil and a little sweat pride Double-time talk till the hook comes slow Then I drag that drawl across the night You laugh and the laugh hits skin like a match Not a fire yet — just the threat of one I can count the heat in the width of a hand That’s a dangerous unit when the groove is this done [Prechorus2] Stay right there Don’t explain Let the bodies Do the math in the vein (Yeah) [Chorus2] Body heat boogie The second you get near Body heat boogie The air gets expensive in here Body heat boogie Ain’t love yet, it’s the fuse and the drum You close that last inch And the whole damn room goes numb (Move) [Harmony3] Air gets expensive Air gets expensive Fuse and the drum Fuse and the drum [Verse3] I done hustled cold mornings and hotter wars This is a different kind of Southern pride Not a flag, not a speech, just the fact That two people can change a room’s mind You lean in, my name gets heavier I lean in, your breath writes law If they ask what the song is about Tell ‘em proximity. That’s all. [Prechorus3] Closer Closer Don’t talk Just show up (Now) [Chorus3] Body heat boogie The second you get near Body heat boogie The air gets expensive in here Body heat boogie Ain’t love yet, it’s the fuse and the drum You close that last inch And the whole damn room goes numb (Move) [Verse4] We can keep it dancing, we can keep it clean We can pretend this is only a song But the collar don’t lie and the pulse don’t lie And the floor don’t lie when the drop hits strong If you step back, I get my weather If you step in, I lose the bet Either way the boogie already started And my body ain’t done with you yet [Bridge] Who turned the heat? You did Who kept the groove? We did Where does it go? Higher Tighter Then hid Call it chemistry Call it a crime Call it the tax On borrowed time I don’t need a sermon I need that last inch That body heat That don’t flinch (Boogie) [Outro] Body heat boogie Still close Body heat boogie That’s the toast Kill the space Keep the drum Let the heat Have its run (Run)
