Lyrics

[Verse 1 — Silky Velvet Tenor]
I can tell you’ve been handled wrong
By the way you study my hands
Like you’re waiting on the old mistake
From a man who never had a plan
I won’t move just because I want you
I’ll wait till your eyes say stay
A woman like you needs more than hunger
She needs care that knows her name
I’m not here to rush your softness
Or make promises sound smooth
I want every touch I give you
To feel like I thought it through
[Pre-Chorus — Breathy, Loose Phrasing]
Let me slow this whole thing down
Let me earn that little smile
If I’m blessed to get close to you
I’m gonna make it worth your while
[Chorus — Smooth Falsetto Lift]
There’s a right way to love you
And I’m learning every sign
How to hold you when you’re guarded
How to take my precious time
There’s a right way to want you
With respect inside the fire
I don’t just want your body
I want your trust beside desire
[Verse 2 — Floating Conversational Feel]
You don’t have to be fearless
You can bring your careful heart
I’ll meet you in the middle
And let the real thing start
Tell me where love disappointed you
Tell me what not to repeat
I’ll listen like your history
Is something sacred next to me
I like the way you get quiet
When the feeling gets too true
That’s when I’ll lower my voice
And let my patience answer you
[Chorus — Creamy Lead, Stacked Harmonies]
There’s a right way to love you
And I’m learning every sign
How to hold you when you’re guarded
How to take my precious time
There’s a right way to want you
With respect inside the fire
I don’t just want your body
I want your trust beside desire
[Bridge — Airy Falsetto Touches]
Wrong way is taking
Right way is receiving
Wrong way is talking
Right way is believing
When your breath gets softer
I won’t lose control
I’ll keep my heart present
While your body lets go
I want you comfortable
I want you sure
I want the kind of loving
That still feels good after
[Final Chorus — Effortless High Notes, Smooth Harmonies]
There’s a right way to love you
Let me show you I can learn
Every place your heart gets tender
Every place your doubts return
There’s a right way to need you
Not desperate, not careless
Just a grown man saying clearly
Your love deserves my best
[Outro — Whispered Ad-Libs]
Mmm… let me love you right
Not fast, not loud
Just deep enough to stay with you
Tell me what you need
I’ll listen
Tell me where to begin
I’ll move with intention
There’s a right way, baby
And I want to love you there
