[INTRO — 8 bars] [Male bari-tenor, G2–E4. Low, sly, intimate. Slight smile in the voice.] You walked in like a secret That forgot to close the door Didn't say you wanted trouble Didn't have to say much more You looked at me for half a second Long enough to rearrange the room I should've looked away I didn't. [VERSE 1 — 16 bars] [Rhythmic, playful, slightly behind the beat.] You're a little too unpredictable I'm a little too intrigued You make bad ideas look elegant And good advice look cheap You talk like every answer Has another question underneath I keep trying to read you You keep moving out of reach You laugh when I get careful I get reckless when you smile We keep calling this coincidence That's getting harder to believe all the while You move I notice You stop I forget Every sensible thought I had Is suddenly irrelevant [MELODIC LIFT — 8 bars] [Open the melody. Build tension.] Maybe it's the mystery Maybe it's the way you never chase Maybe I just like the feeling Of not knowing what comes next [CHORUS — 16 bars] [Big melodic hook. Stylish, confident, gritty rather than shouted.] Strange attraction Pulling me across the room No explanation And I don't want one too soon Strange attraction Something I can't quite see You don't even have to touch me To get under my skin Strange attraction Gravity with a crooked grin I keep walking toward the trouble Just to see where it begins [GLAM ROCK TURN — 16 bars] [Swaggering. More theatrical attitude.] You change the subject I change my mind You leave a little chaos Everywhere you walk by You say, "Don't overthink it" I say, "That's easy for you" Then you give me that look again And suddenly I'm thinking of you I could call it bad judgment I could call it chemistry I could make up an explanation But you'd probably laugh at me So I quit pretending I know what this is You move closer I let you [JAZZ-FRACTURE — 8 bars] [Near-spoken. Loose timing. Play with silence.] Maybe it's nothing. Maybe it's trouble. Maybe those are the same thing When you're looking at me like that. You say, "What are you thinking?" I say— Nothing. [Beat.] You smile. "Liar." [DANCE RELEASE — 16 bars] [Full groove. Confident, melodic, almost playful.] Strange attraction Pulling me across the floor No explanation But I don't need one anymore Strange attraction Something I can't name Every time I walk away You make me want to stay Strange attraction Maybe that's all it needs to be No promises No guarantees Just that look across the room And you coming closer to me [THEATRICAL PEAK — 16 bars] [Biggest vocal. Glamorous, urgent, controlled grit.] I don't know your secret You don't know mine Maybe that's the reason We keep missing every line You could be my worst decision I could be yours tonight But there's something in the uncertainty That feels dangerously right Let the whole world wonder Let them call it what they will Some things don't need an answer When the question gives you chills Strange attraction Strange attraction Still pulling me in I don't know where this is going [Pause.] I don't think I want to know. [OUTRO — 8 bars] [Drop back to intimate and amused.] You walked in like a secret That forgot to close the door I should've known better. [Pause.] I probably did. [Final chord sustains unresolved.]
