[Verse 1] Clock on the wall says the week is done You keep calling like I owe you one Black dress folded on the passenger seat I choose the night and I choose the heat You talk so big when the room goes still I let you wonder if I ever will One raised brow and a half-smile slow You can follow close, but you don't get to know [Pre-Chorus] Keep your hands where I can see Say it plain, don't bargain with me I came here sharp, I leave that way You get one chance to make me stay [Chorus] Come a little closer, don't get comfortable I like the chase, but I'm not controllable Say my name like you mean what you say Then step aside when I walk away I set the terms, I set the pace Read that look across my face Want this? Better earn your place I don't get caught—I choose the chase [Verse 2] You bought a drink, now you think we're a team Cute little theory, keep it in your dream I laugh at the line, let the silence bite You can try again if you get it right I know what I want, and I know what I don't You lean in close; I still say I won't Then I turn back with a dangerous grin Make you guess if you're out or in [Rap Break] Talk less, watch more, hold that pose I can read your tells before your smile shows No borrowed swagger, no practiced routine Bring me something real, keep your ego clean One step forward, then I change the game You want a promise? Don't ask my name I leave on my timing, I call the last play You can think about me on your drive away [Chorus] Come a little closer, don't get comfortable I like the chase, but I'm not controllable Say my name like you mean what you say Then step aside when I walk away I set the terms, I set the pace Read that look across my face Want this? Better earn your place I don't get caught—I choose the chase [Bridge] No soft excuse, no borrowed flame No little box to fit my name If you can meet me eye to eye Maybe I'll stay; maybe goodbye [Final Chorus] Come a little closer, don't get comfortable I like the chase, but I'm not controllable Say my name like you mean what you say Then step aside when I walk away I set the terms, I set the pace Read that look across my face Want this? Better earn your place I don't get caught—I choose the chase [Outro] Your move, darling Make it count
