Lyrics

[Verse 1 — Warm Smoky Tenor]
I been patient with you, baby
Let the want sit quiet in my chest
Gave your heart room to breathe
Never moved like I deserved the rest
But every time you look at me
Like you know what I’m holding back
I feel my calm start slipping
Feel my good sense lose track
You ain’t innocent in this moment
You know exactly what you do
That little pause before you answer
Got my whole night leaning toward you
I don’t want to rush your spirit
I don’t want to bend your will
But this love been sitting loaded
And tonight it don’t sit still
[Pre-Chorus — Intimate Rise]
You keep saying, “Take your time”
While your eyes keep saying, “Don’t”
You keep standing close to me
Like you testing my control
[Chorus — Passionate Chest Voice]
Pressure
Baby, you got me under pressure
Trying to be a gentleman
While your body talking reckless
Pressure
This feeling getting too honest
I been loving you with patience
But tonight I might not hide it
Pressure
I can feel it in the silence
If you want me, say you want me
Let your truth stop fighting
[Verse 2 — Conversational, Raspy Edge]
I don’t chase women for a moment
I don’t beg for temporary heat
I want the kind of grown love
That still feels sacred after sleep
You been hurt, I understand it
That’s why I move with respect
But don’t punish this man’s hunger
For what somebody else left
Let me kiss the doubt off your thinking
Let me hold your fear by the hand
Let me show you love is stronger
When desire got a plan
You ain’t gotta perform for me
Ain’t gotta prove you’re bad
Just bring me that soft little truth
You keep hiding when you laugh
[Pre-Chorus — Bluesy Bend]
Tell me no, I’ll honor that
Tell me wait, I’ll stand down
But if your heart is ready, baby
Don’t make love keep pacing around
[Chorus — Stronger Projection, Stacked Harmonies]
Pressure
Baby, you got me under pressure
Trying to be a gentleman
While your body talking reckless
Pressure
This feeling getting too honest
I been loving you with patience
But tonight I might not hide it
Pressure
I can feel it in the silence
If you want me, say you want me
Let your truth stop fighting
[Bridge — Gospel-Rooted Plea]
I ain’t here to take nothing
I’m here to give you what you need
The kind of touch that asks permission
The kind of love that plants a seed
Let me be calm in your storm
Let me be fire with control
Let me be the man who knows your body
But still protects your soul
I feel you trembling through your smile
Feel you trying not to fold
But passion don’t mean danger
When a real man got the hold
[Final Chorus — Emotional Lift]
Pressure
You got my heart under pressure
And I ain’t running from the feeling
I just want us both together
Pressure
Your name sitting on my breathing
Your eyes pulling confessions
Out the places I keep secret
Pressure
If you want this, don’t deny it
Let me love you slow and certain
Till your whole heart gets quiet
[Outro — Soft Falsetto and Ad-Libs]
Mmm… pressure
Baby, I feel it too
I won’t move without your yes
But I won’t lie about wanting you
Come closer if you mean it
Stay still if you’re unsure
I got passion in my hands
But my love is mature
Pressure
Sweet pressure
You ain’t gotta fight it
If your heart wants more
