[Intro] (Atmospheric electric piano chords, muted guitar accents, low 96 BPM swung hip-hop drum beat, deep bass pulse) (Yeah... turn the lights down low) (2 AM in the city... DJ's winding down) We had a good time tonight, didn't we? Just keep it real with me... [Verse 1] The bass was thumping through the VIP floor, You pulled me close, asking if I wanted more. The DJ switched the record right at half past two, And every look you gave me said you wanted me too. Now we’re riding in the backseat, neon lights fading fast, Watching the empty streets of the city rolling past. You got your arm around my waist, whispering in my ear, Talking 'bout tomorrow like the future’s right here. Hold up a second, boy, let’s slow down the pace, Enjoy the moment before we step into my space. [Pre-Chorus] (Hand percussion swells, smooth backing vocal harmonies) I like the way you move, I like the way you touch, I’m not trying to pull away or say it’s too much. But before we turn the key and lock out the night, Let’s make sure we both understand the terms right. [Chorus] (Seductive, smooth mid-tempo bounce, layered female harmonies) What happens after the club stays right here tonight, Underneath the covers in the morning light. Don't be calling my phone expecting a ring, Assuming that a good time means a forever thing. We got great chemistry, we got the fire, we got the spark, So let’s just get lost in the dark. Yeah, after the club, we can let the feeling grow... Just don't make promises we both don't know. [Verse 2] (Syncopated groove, deep warm bass line sliding under conversational delivery) We walk through the door, kick my heels by the wall, No pressure on your shoulders, no heavy expectations at all. You’re looking at me like you found a keeper for life, Talking 'bout breakfast before we even dim the light. Look, I ain't being cold, I just know who I am, I play my own cards, I don't fall for the trap. I want you right now, yeah, the feeling is real, But don't confuse desire with a permanent deal. We can share the sunrise, we can share the heat, Without putting a label on every single heartbeat. [Pre-Chorus] (Hand percussion swells, smooth backing vocal harmonies) I like the way you move, I like the way you touch, I’m not trying to pull away or say it’s too much. But before we turn the key and lock out the night, Let’s make sure we both understand the terms right. [Chorus] (Seductive, smooth mid-tempo bounce, layered female harmonies) What happens after the club stays right here tonight, Underneath the covers in the morning light. Don't be calling my phone expecting a ring, Assuming that a good time means a forever thing. We got great chemistry, we got the fire, we got the spark, So let’s just get lost in the dark. Yeah, after the club, we can let the feeling grow... Just don't make promises we both don't know. [Bridge] (Instrumentation strips down to warm electric piano chords, subtle bass, and intimate lead vocal) I’ll admit... when you hold me tight like this, It’s a little bit sweeter than a casual kiss. You got me feeling things I didn't plan to feel, Making me wonder if this moment could be real. But I’d rather keep it honest than promise you a lie, So let’s just enjoy each other while the night goes by... [Final Chorus] (Rich stacked harmonies, expressive vocal runs, full 2006 hip-hop soul production) What happens after the club stays right here tonight (stays right here, baby!), Underneath the covers in the morning light. Don't be calling my phone expecting a ring (don't call my phone, no), Assuming that a good time means a forever thing. We got great chemistry, we got the fire, we got the spark (we got the spark, yeah), So let’s just get lost in the dark. Yeah, after the club, we can let the feeling grow... Just don't make promises we both don't know. [Outro] (Electric piano fading, gentle vocal ad-libs, distant sunrise synth pad) After the club... Just you and me. No strings... (Fade out)
