[INTRO] (0:00 - 0:17) (Track drops immediately. Acoustic drum kit locks into a tight, driving four-on-the-floor kick, snapping backbeat snare, and sizzling open hi-hats. Rhythmic, layered male vocals chant tightly over the beat.) LAYERED VOCALS (Chant): Come on girl, don’t you wait! Give it up, it’s not too late! (SFX: Squelchy, low-end synth filter sweep: Wwwhuuummmm) LAYERED VOCALS (Chant): Got to have your love tonight! Make it move and make it right! (SFX: Sharp synth sweep punctuation) (0:09 - 0:17: The chant clears. Clean rhythm guitar scratches in with a tight "chug-a-chug" mute. Electric piano and clavinet drop into the syncopated F♯m7 vamp. The electric bass brings the driving force, bouncing fingerstyle straight in the pocket with the kick drum. Percussion adds a ringing cowbell and layered studio handclaps on beats 2 & 4.) [VERSE 1] (Smooth R&B delivery, riding the syncopated keyboard vamp) I see you standing on the edge of the floor, Locking eyes with me, but keeping score. I’ve been chasing your shadow all through the night, Tell me what it's gonna take to treat you right. I’d climb a mountain, I would swim the sea, Just to get a little piece of your chemistry. There’s a spark in the air, yeah, it’s plain to see, So why you trying to run away from me? [PRE-CHORUS] (Tension builds; shakers and tambourines intensify; synth fills mimic the vocal line) You’ve got the power, got the keys to my heart, Don't put a ceiling on a beautiful start. I’m falling fast and I am ready to slide, So stop the hiding, let me inside! [CHORUS] (Full Call-and-Response Soul Dynamic. High-energy, multi-layered harmonized backing vocals) LEAD: Stop holding back! BACKING VOCALS: (Give it up, give it up!) LEAD: I need your love and that’s a factual fact! BACKING VOCALS: (Got to have your love!) LEAD: I’ll do anything you want me to do, BACKING VOCALS: (Anything for you!) LEAD: Just surrender to the groove! BACKING VOCALS: (Let your feelings move!) [VERSE 2] (The pocket locks back down; guitar scratching becomes more prominent) No more hesitation, no more delay, Let’s hear the words that we both wanna say. My affection is running on a high-voltage line, And I won't stop until I know that you’re mine. I’m deep infatuated, head over heels, Can’t even find the words for how it feels. I’m at your mercy, girl, I’m begging you please, Bring your sweet love right down to its knees. [PRE-CHORUS] (Shakers and tambourines pick up; a bright synth sweep pushes into the chorus) You’ve got the power, got the keys to my heart, Don't put a ceiling on a beautiful start. I’m falling fast and I am ready to slide, So stop the hiding, let me inside! [CHORUS] (High-energy call-and-response over the F♯m7 loop with heavy handclaps) LEAD: Stop holding back! BACKING VOCALS: (Give it up, give it up!) LEAD: I need your love and that’s a factual fact! BACKING VOCALS: (Got to have your love!) LEAD: I’ll do anything you want me to do, BACKING VOCALS: (Anything for you!) LEAD: Just surrender to the groove! BACKING VOCALS: (Let your feelings move!) [OUTRO / GROOVE VAMP] (The lead vocals ad-lib smoothly while the intro vocal chant returns in the background. The bassline pulls off a few subtle, funky syncopated pops while staying deeply in the pocket. Low-end synth sweeps punctuate the fade.) BACKING VOCALS (Chant): Come on girl, don’t you wait! Give it up, it’s not too late! LEAD (Ad-lib): Oh, I need it baby! I'll do anything for you! (SFX: Squelchy synth bass accent) BACKING VOCALS (Chant): Got to have your love tonight! Make it move and make it right! LEAD (Ad-lib): Stop holding back! Give it up to me, yeah... (The track rides the infectious F♯m7 – Bm7 – C♯m7 – Bm7 loop as the cowbell and studio handclaps gradually fade out.)
