[INTRO — 8 BARS | MINIMAL DRUMS AND CHOPPED SAX] [Start quietly with a soft dry kick, delicate rim-click snare and restrained closed hi-hat. Warm mellow tenor sax plays short chopped two-note phrases in a gentle repeating rhythm. Sparse notes with silence between them. Deep warm bass enters subtly after 4 bars. No vocals, no loud accents, no build.] [VERSE 1 — SOFT ROMANTIC FEMALE SOUL] [Sweet youthful female alto, intimate and fully sung behind the beat. Minimal drums, warm bass and quiet chopped sax continue. Sparse upright piano enters with gentle chords. Sax stays behind the voice.] I see you walking through the crowd My heart starts beating twice as loud I try to act like I don’t care But every time, I stop and stare I keep on looking for a sign That maybe you’ve been reading mine And when you turn and look my way I lose the words I meant to say [INSTRUMENTAL — 8 BARS] [Soft drums and rounded bass maintain the gentle groove. Chopped sax motif becomes a beautiful short melodic phrase. Piano answers quietly.] [CHORUS — INTIMATE, RESTRAINED] [Female vocal soft and romantic. No belting, no harmonies, no added layers.] Baby, there’s something you should know I feel it everywhere I go Every time you pass me by I lose my words, I don’t know why Baby, there’s something you should know I feel it everywhere I go [SAXOPHONE INTERLUDE — 8 BARS] [Quiet warm tenor sax plays a delicate romantic melody, short soulful phrases with gentle bends and pauses. Soft drums and bass continue unchanged.] [VERSE 2 — TENDER FEMALE SOUL] [Relaxed female vocal, close and natural. Sax returns to short quiet rhythmic accents.] I’ve had this feeling for a while I try to hide it with a smile But every time you come around My feet forget to touch the ground I wonder if you feel it too The way I always look at you And if you ever feel the same Just come a little closer, say my name [CHORUS — SOFT, WARM] [Same gentle groove and intimate dynamics.] Baby, there’s something you should know I feel it everywhere I go Every time you pass me by I lose my words, I don’t know why Baby, there’s something you should know I feel it everywhere I go [SAXOPHONE INTERLUDE — 8 BARS] [Chopped sax develops into a soft, memorable melodic response. Piano and bass remain restrained.] [VERSE 3 — EMOTIONAL, CONTROLLED] [Minimal drums, warm bass, delicate piano. Female vocal stays sweet and soft.] I’ve rehearsed a thousand things to say But all my courage slips away One little smile and I lose my place My heart gives everything away on my face I’ve kept this secret far too long Pretending nothing’s going on If love’s a chance I have to take Then let this be the rule I break [BRIDGE — QUIET AND INTIMATE] [Drums reduce to soft rim clicks. Piano, bass and occasional sax replies.] Baby… There’s something you should know… I try to hide it… But it shows… [FINAL CHORUS — GENTLE SOUL] [Keep the same minimal arrangement. No dramatic climax, no loud drums.] Baby, there’s something you should know I feel it everywhere I go Every time you pass me by I lose my words, I don’t know why Baby, there’s something you should know I feel it everywhere I go [OUTRO — 12 BARS | CHOPPED SAX AND DRUMS] [Return to the original short chopped sax motif over minimal dry drums and rounded bass. Sparse piano replies. Instruments fade gently, leaving one soft sax note.] [END]
