[Intro: slinky bass, Rhodes, muted guitar] Mmm hmm No Don't you even I know that face [Verse 1: playful, conversational] I've got one shoe on My other one's upstairs Been looking for my earring For ten minutes everywhere You said we'd leave at seven It's seven twenty three And now you're standing in the doorway Smiling like that at me Don't come any closer We're already running late I know exactly what you're doing By that grin across your face [Pre Chorus: groove tightens] You had all afternoon Didn't bother me one bit Now I've got my makeup done And suddenly you're interested Boy, your timing Could use a little work [Chorus: funky, flirty groove opens] Don't start something We ain't got time to finish Don't put your hands around my waist And act all innocent You know what you're doing And I know you too damn well Don't start something When we're halfway out the door Unless you're planning On making that phone call yourself [Verse 2: loose swagger] You said, "You look good" I said, "Thank you, now let's go" Then you gave me that once over Nice and easy, head to toe I tried to grab my purse You pulled me back your way I said, "We have reservations" You said, "They'll hold our place" I should've kept on walking Should've headed for the car Instead I'm standing here smiling Damn you Now look where we are [Pre Chorus] You had all afternoon I was right here next to you But apparently a little lipstick Changes your whole attitude Now we're both laughing And nobody's found my shoe [Chorus] Don't start something We ain't got time to finish Don't put your hands around my waist And act all innocent You know what you're doing And I know you too damn well Don't start something When we're halfway out the door Unless you're planning On making that phone call yourself [Bridge: drums drop, bass and Rhodes stay] Go ahead Call 'em Tell 'em we're running late No, don't tell 'em why Lord Give me that phone [Break: drums kick back in] This is your fault YOUR FAULT We were almost on time ALMOST You couldn't leave me alone NOPE Yeah I didn't try very hard either [Final Chorus: full groove, playful female backing vocals] Don't start something We ain't got time to finish Don't give me that smile Then pretend you didn't mean it You know what you're doing And I know you too damn well Don't start something When we're halfway out the door Baby, dinner can wait Another fifteen minutes [Outro: bass and Rhodes ride out] Fifteen That's all you get Stop smiling Go find my other shoe
