Brian McKnight - On The Down Low lyrics

Had a man, and she didn't mind

Walked up to me nice and slow

What she wanted

I did not know

Gave me her pager number

And said call her "anytime"

Then she whispered in my ear

(chorus)

She said

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it

On the down and low

She said

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it

On the down and low

She says that he

Doesn't take her anywhere

Used to say sweet things

Acts like he doesn't even care

He thinks that she's content

Cos he buys her cars

And he pays her rent

But she's not ready to leave

She turned and said to me

(repeat chorus)

Bridge:

I wouldn't treat you that way

If you were my lady

I wouldn't share you

You'd be mine and mine alone, oh yeah

If he continues wastin' your time

Girl, he's crazy

I'll take her

(Got to get down and low)

Maxine looked into my eyes

Wanted me to be the other guy

Cos tonight she's needin' someone to hold

Lonely nights can be, oh, so cold

Deprived of all the things

She misses, wants, wishes, and needs

Got hotter than a hundred an' three

She turned and said to me

(repeat chorus)

(repeat chorus to fade
