You know what you do to me

YOU KNOW WHAT YOU DO TO ME [Verse 1 — male, baritone, close-mic, low, deliberate, like a man who knows exactly what he’s saying] It’s not the words you choose It’s the pause before them The way you hold a thought Like you’re deciding how much of it to give me And even the half you keep Does something to me [Pre-Chorus — male, quieter, certain] I didn’t plan for this But I’m not running from it I know exactly what this is And I want more of it [Chorus — male lead, female breath weaving underneath, dark and charged] You know what to do to me You always have One look across a room And everything else Just stops God you know what you do to me [Verse 2 — male, slower, closer] It’s not even the touch It’s the moment before it Your hand not yet on my skin And already something shifts Already the air changes You did that With almost nothing And you knew it [Pre-Chorus — male, lower, charged] I’ve tried to stay level-headed about you Keep one foot on the ground But then you do that thing With your eyes And the ground moves [Chorus — both voices, female low and warm beneath him] You know what you do to me You always have One look across a room And everything else Just stops God you know what you do to me [Bridge — female, low alto, unhurried, a little dangerous] And the thought of you When you’re not even here Just the idea of you Moving through my day Uninvited Entirely welcome [Male returning, low, direct, no apology] You’re not even in the room And I already know how this ends How it always ends With me wanting more And you knowing it And neither of us minding at all [Chorus — both, fuller, warm tension] You know what you do to me You always have One look across a room And everything else Just stops God you know what you do to me [Outro — male alone, close, almost a smile in the voice] The voice The look The touch The thought It’s all the same thing It’s all you And you know exactly what you do Don’t pretend you don’t
