[Intro — intimate vintage soul atmosphere, Rhodes piano, upright bass, brushed drums, soft female vocal tease] [Verse 1 — soft, breathy, playful female soul vocal, intimate close-mic] Ain't you gonna tell me what you want tonight? Be my little secret, hold me close and tight See the way I'm smiling — don't you know just why? Darling, are you waiting for a little sign? Easy, honey, don't you rush me, dear Come a little closer, let me hold you near Give me one good reason I should let you go Honey, don't you know I already know? [Chorus — female scat only, playful soulful harmonies, no meaningful words] Ooh-ba-doo, sha-ba-da, Mmm-ba-da, ooh-la-la Do-be-doo, ba-da-bam, Ooh-ooh-ooh, sha-ba-dam... [Instrumental Break — Rhodes piano fills, upright bass, muted trumpet, brushed drums] [Verse 2 — flirtatious, warmer soul phrasing, slightly stronger vocal] I wonder why you keep looking at my lips Just one little kiss — and watch my composure slip Kiss me, darling — did I say that out loud? Love makes me feel so happy and proud Maybe I'm just teasing, seeing what you'll do Now, would you be brave enough to see this through? Oh, you naughty boy, you're playing with my heart Please don't make me wait — I've wanted you from the start [Chorus — female scat only, fuller soulful harmonies, no meaningful words] Shoo-be-doo, ba-da-bam, Ooh-ba-dee, sha-ba-dam Mmm-da-doo, ba-da-da, Sha-la-boo, ooh-la-la... [Instrumental Break — walking upright bass, Rhodes piano, muted trumpet, soft electric guitar] [Verse 3 — vulnerable, intimate, emotional female soul vocal, gradual dynamic rise] Quite honestly, are you feeling it too? Really, darling, tell me if it's true Say it softly, whisper in my ear Tell me, darling, why are you standing here? You could make me blush with just one little smile Very dangerous, darling — stay with me awhile Why keep me waiting? Tell me, what can I do? X-tra little kisses — maybe one or two [Chorus — female scat only, emotional soulful harmonies, slightly bigger] Ba-da-bop, ooh-la-la, Sha-ba-dee, sha-ba-da Mmm-ba-doo, ba-da-bop, Ooh-la-dee, sha-ba-bop... [Instrumental Break — emotional strings entering, Rhodes piano, soulful drums, muted trumpet, rising dynamics] [Verse 4 — passionate female soul vocal, powerful controlled projection, emotional climax] Why are you looking at me like that? Zing goes my heart when you tip your hat Ain't it funny how a little flirt can grow? Baby, there's a little secret we both know Come a little closer, let me hear you sigh Darling, if you kiss me, don't ask me why Every little star says our love is true Tonight, my darling, I'll belong to you [Final Chorus — very slow, breathy female scat only, tender afterglow, no meaningful words] Ooooh... ba-da-bop... Shaaa-la-la... mmm... Doo-be-doo... ba-da... Ooooh... la-la-la... [Outro — whispered female vocal, intimate, tender, fading] Mmm... Maybe that's why I love you... [Final Vocal Tag — extremely slow, breathy, teasing, elongated syllables] Boop... boop... aaaaa... dooooooop... [Soft Reprise — barely audible female whisper, fading] ...boop-boop-a-doop... [Fade Out — soft Rhodes piano, upright bass, brushed drums slowly disappear]
