Lyrics

[Verse 1 — Low, Smoky Baritone]
I’ve tried to speak around the truth
Keep my feelings dressed and proper
But every time you cross my floor
My good sense gets a little softer
You don’t have to raise your voice
Your eyes already make demands
And when you lean your weight against me
I forget every careful plan
I’ve known women who wanted attention
Known desire that faded fast
But you make me want tomorrow
Not another borrowed night from the past
[Pre-Chorus]
I could call this fascination
Pretend it’ll disappear
But a grown man knows the difference
When the real thing gets this near
[Chorus — Warm Chest-Voice Rise]
Ain’t no hiding what I feel
You’ve got all of me responding
From the way you say my name
To the way your dress falls when you’re walking
I don’t only want your body
I want the woman underneath
Ain’t no hiding what I feel
You bring the honest man out of me
[Verse 2 — Intimate, Behind the Beat]
I want your Sunday-morning silence
Your bare feet moving through my room
Want to hear you laugh without performing
With your hair and worries loose
Bring me every stubborn question
Every scar you keep concealed
I don’t need you sweet and polished
I need everything that’s real
Let me be the hand upon your waist
When the whole week wears you down
Let me kiss away that distance
Before loneliness comes around
[Pre-Chorus]
Don’t mistake my heat for weakness
Or my hunger for a game
I can want you like a sinner
And still honor your good name
[Chorus]
Ain’t no hiding what I feel
You’ve got all of me responding
From the way you say my name
To the way your dress falls when you’re walking
I don’t only want your body
I want the woman underneath
Ain’t no hiding what I feel
You bring the honest man out of me
[Bridge — Gospel-Rooted Climb]
Come closer, let me tell you plainly
I’m too old for halfway love
I want nights that leave us breathless
And a morning we can trust
I want passion with a promise
Tenderness that doesn’t leave
Give me something worth believing
And I’ll give you all of me
[Final Chorus — Passionate Belt]
Ain’t no hiding what I feel
Every wall in me is falling
I want your head across my shoulder
When the midnight starts calling
I don’t only want the sweetness
I want every truth you keep
Ain’t no hiding what I feel
You bring the faithful man out of me
[Outro — Falsetto Touches]
Come here, woman
Don’t make me say it twice
I want your love in daylight
Not only after midnight
Ain’t no hiding
No use trying
You already know what’s real
Come lay your heart beside me
That’s exactly how I feel
