I can’t say what kept me in here tonight
except your brown eyes under yellow neon light
I came lookin’ ‘round, searchin’ out somethin’ new
and I never thought I’d find myself lookin’ at you
Must’ve been three years since I saw you last
and I never seen a Southern woman talkin’ so fast
about your war, your peace, and all your new philosophies,
your now and then, and all the places that you been
But while I watch your lips move
The band is set to start the groove
Wait until they turn the lights low
Then we start to move it kinda slow
Now come on, slide a little closer
Take a sip of my mimosa
Don’t let your politics interfere
With what our bodies are doin’ here
Anyway
I ain’t got nothin’ to say
Anyway
I ain’t got nothin’ to say
When you slid across the floor everybody knew
That the girl was lookin’ sweeter than honeydew
Maybe you and me could take it to another zone
The kinda place without your friends around to chaperone
We can end the suspicion, stop what you’re doing and listen
‘Cause baby you and me can work out fine
Tell your other man you’re leavin’, ain’t no time for deceivin’
Because tonight I’m gonna make you mine
And while I watch your hips sway
We could shake it ‘til the break of day
You’re sophisticated I can tell
‘Cause you got me caught up in your spell
You’re a natural temptation
With a gift for conversation
But after all the fancy talk is through
Won’t you let me take a walk with you
Anyway
I ain’t got nothin’ to say
Anyway
I ain’t got nothing to say
