MUZIC SOCIETY

Lyrics

Verse 1 — Tender, Smoky Tenor
You straighten every picture
When your thoughts feel out of order
I’ve watched you change the subject
When a feeling gets too close
You said, “Don’t make me another promise
Men get generous when wanting”
I said, “Judge me by the morning
When desire stops performing”
I don’t want the polished woman
Everybody gets to witness
Bring the one who asks hard questions
I’ll answer without resistance
Pre-Chorus — Delicate Falsetto
When you loosen your defenses
And your voice becomes sincere
I won’t rush what’s happening
I’ll make patience disappear into care
Chorus — Full-Chested Soul
When we get between us
Where the outside cannot reach
Where your caution meets my patience
And your silence starts to speak
When we get between us
I won’t waste what you reveal
I’ll make honesty seductive
And make safety something real
Background: Between us
Lead: Nothing false can live between us
Verse 2 — Intimate Conversation
You told me your last man
Made affection feel conditional
Loved you loudly when convenient
Then went missing when it mattered
I won’t study your old heartbreak
Just to learn a faster entrance
I’ll protect what you confide
Like your truth came with commandments
And when wanting turns demanding
I’ll let discipline correct me
A grown man knows desire
Means more when a woman chooses freely
Bridge — Gospel Call and Response
Lead: Let me know what makes you cautious
Background: Tell him, baby
Lead: Let me prove I heard the reason
Background: Show her daily
Lead: I don’t want one borrowed moment
I want trust beneath the feeling
Final Chorus — Strings and Three-Part Harmonies
When we get between us
No performance, no disguise
Every answer in your breathing
Every question in your eyes
When we get between us
I’ll be careful with what’s real
You won’t have to choose between
Being wanted and feeling safe with me
Outro — Cracked Falsetto
No audience.
No pressure.
No promises made carelessly.
Just one woman
telling the truth—
and one man
mature enough
to deserve it.
