lyrics

I stand here aching,
The words dance off your tongue.
We just met but you said, “we could still have some fun”

You are conscious of the moves that you make,
Fabric thin against skin and you want me to break now

I’m not the kind of man this happens to, oh no.
I try to play it off, oh but you see through. Ooo Oh

Don’t just tell me girl, put it in action
I wanna see if it’s about to happen
Give me sparks like a chain reaction
Do you know you’re dancing like that
I can see by the stare in your eyes that you know that you do
And it’s just to make me want you.

Into your doorway,
Some clothes stay in the hall
You’ve got some in your room
More inviting and all, now.
No need for more drinks
Cause I’m buzzed by those possibilities of you and me
And she breathes Oh oh onto me.

I’m not the kind of man this happens to, oh no.
I try to play it off, oh but you see through. Ooo Oh

Don’t just tell me girl, put it in action
I wanna see if it’s about to happen
Give me sparks like a chain reaction
Do you know you’re dancing like that
I can see by the stare in your eyes that you know that you do
And it’s just to make me want you.

And it’s just to make me want you.
And it’s just to make me want you.

I’m not the kind of man this happens to, oh no.
I try to play it off, oh but you see through. Ooo Oh

Don’t just tell me girl, put it in action
I wanna see if it’s about to happen
Give me sparks like a chain reaction
Do you know you’re dancing like that
I can see by the stare in your eyes that you know that you do
And it’s just to make me want you.
