[INTRO — WOMAN SPOKEN] (WOMAN: You don’t have to look at me like that.) (MAN: Like what?) (WOMAN: Like you already know what I’m thinking.) (MAN: Maybe I do.) (WOMAN: Then come sit next to me.) (MAN: That’s all you had to say.) [VERSE 1 — WOMAN] I’m grown, I know exactly what I like No need for promises, just read the vibe You walked through that door, the whole room changed One look from you and I forgot my name (Mmm… there it is) I poured you something, you leaned in closer now the mood got bolder Kept watching my lips while I watched your eyes Ain’t nobody here, so baby, stop acting surprised (Mmm… you know what you’re doing) [VERSE 2 — MAN] Girl, that little smile is giving you away You’ve been playing innocent, but I know that game You got that grown-woman confidence And the way you move got me losing my sense (Mmm… look at you) You don’t need to whisper, I can read your lips That little pause got me thinking ’bout it You say, “Behave,” but your eyes say, “Don’t” Now you’re testing my patience like you know I won’t (You know better) [PRE-HOOK — CALL & RESPONSE] WOMAN: You still want me? MAN: You already know. WOMAN: How bad? MAN: Bad enough to stay. WOMAN: You gonna behave? MAN: Depends on you. WOMAN: That’s what I thought. MAN: Then come closer. [HOOK — BOTH] WOMAN: Tell me what you want tonight. MAN: You know what I want. WOMAN: Then don’t just look at me. MAN: Baby, I won’t. BOTH: After dark, we get a little reckless Low lights, slow wine, taking our time After dark, no need to be innocent You know what I mean when I give you that sign After dark, let the tension build One little touch and the whole room chills No need to say what we both came for After dark… give me a little more (Mmm… that’s what I like) [VERSE 3 — WOMAN] I like when you stop talking and just watch me That look on your face tells me everything You know exactly how to make me wait And I know exactly how to test your patience (Mmm… don’t rush) I’m not wearing nothing I need to explain But somehow you keep looking at me the same You say, “You’re trouble,” I say, “Maybe I am” Then I give you that smile like, “Do what you can” (Oh, you know me) You like when I tease you, I can tell I give you a little, then I make you wait That’s how grown people play with temptation Keep it right there… let your imagination work (Mmm… use your imagination) [VERSE 4 — MAN] You got a way of making good intentions disappear One little move and suddenly I’m right here You know exactly what you’re doing to me And that little innocent face ain’t fooling me (Nah…) You keep saying, “Take your time,” so I take my time Then you turn around and give me that look again You got me walking that line all night And honestly, baby, I don’t mind (Keep doing that) [BRIDGE — CALL & RESPONSE] WOMAN: You sure you want this? MAN: Absolutely. WOMAN: You sure you can handle me? MAN: Come find out. WOMAN: Don’t get too confident. MAN: You like me confident. WOMAN: Maybe I do. MAN: I knew it. [BREAKDOWN — FEMALE LEAD / MALE AD-LIBS] WOMAN: Lights low… (MAN: Yeah…) WOMAN: Door locked… (MAN: Mmm…) WOMAN: Phone down… (MAN: That’s right…) WOMAN: Now tell me what you’re thinking… (MAN: You really want me to say it?) WOMAN: Don’t say it… Just show me with your eyes Don’t rush it… Let the anticipation rise If you know, you know… (Mmm… shhh) [FINAL HOOK — BOTH] WOMAN: Tell me what you want tonight. MAN: You know what I want. WOMAN: Then don’t just look at me. MAN: Baby, I won’t. BOTH: After dark, we get a little reckless Low lights, slow wine, taking our time After dark, no need to be innocent You know what I mean when I give you that sign After dark, let the tension build One little touch and the whole room chills No need to say what we both came for After dark… give me a little more (Mmm… after dark) [OUTRO — LOW & TEASING] WOMAN: You still planning on behaving? MAN: Not if you keep looking at me like that. WOMAN: Good answer. MAN: I thought you’d agree. BOTH: After dark… Lights low… Door closed… You know the rest.
