PRETTY PLEASE [Verse 1 – immediate rubbery synth bass, dry funk guitar, minimal drums; silky male tenor, teasing half-spoken delivery] You’ve got that look again Don’t pretend you don’t I know what you’re thinking Even when you won’t One little favor One little thrill You can keep me waiting But you know I never will [Pre-Chorus – clipped rhythmic phrasing, robotic backing responses, bass pulls back] Say it once Say it twice Don’t you love it When I’m nice? One more look One more tease Now I’m asking— Pretty please [Chorus – thick elastic electro-funk bass, sharp claps, playful falsetto lifts, infectious syncopated groove] Pretty please Can you do that extra thing you do? I want you to Pretty please Can you take me extra high tonight? Like we’re gonna fly Pretty please I wanna do it like they do in the movies You got me on my knees, baby Pretty please Yes, pretty please [Post-Chorus – stripped-back robotic vocal chops, acidic synth stabs, rubbery bass answers each phrase] Pretty, pretty (Please, please) Pretty, pretty (Please) You know what I need (What you need?) Pretty please [Verse 2 – cool conversational tenor, scratchy funk guitar, metallic electroclash accents] You know how to make me wait You know how to steal a scene Got me looking so composed While you’re making quite a scene Roll the cameras Kill the lights Give me something Worth the night [Pre-Chorus – dry claps, playful spoken delivery, rising synth tension] Say it once Say it twice Don’t you love it When I’m nice? One more look One more tease Now I’m asking— Pretty please [Chorus – full electro-funk groove, layered male harmonies, bright falsetto accents] Pretty please Can you do that extra thing you do? I want you to Pretty please Can you take me extra high tonight? Like we’re gonna fly Pretty please I wanna do it like they do in the movies You got me on my knees, baby Pretty please Yes, pretty please [Bridge – sudden beat cut, intimate low spoken tenor, sparse synth pulse] I said please… Wasn’t that polite? Don’t keep me waiting All night [Final Chorus – explosive distorted synth bass, robotic call-and-response, silky lead vocal, confident funky swagger] Pretty please Can you do that extra thing you do? I want you to Pretty please Can you take me extra high tonight? Like we’re gonna fly Pretty please I wanna do it like they do in the movies You got me on my knees, baby Pretty please Yes, pretty please [Outro – instruments stop, sly spoken vocal, single bass stab] Pretty… Please.
