Lyrics

[Verse 1 — Warm Smoky Tenor]
Girl, this situation getting sticky
I ain’t gon’ stand here and lie
When I first came around you
I was thinking hit it and slide
No plans for conversation
No feelings on my sleeve
Just a little late-night tension
Then I’m back out in the street
But you started talking different
Had my mind staying after hours
We went from quick little messages
To me learning how you like your flowers
Started riding out for no reason
Eating good on the other side of town
Now I’m checking if you made it safely
Like your peace belong to me now
[Pre-Chorus — Intimate Rise]
I don’t know when it shifted
I just know it ain’t the same
What was supposed to be simple
Got your name all in my veins
[Chorus — Passionate Chest Voice]
Sticky situation
This situation sticky
I came to touch your body
Now your spirit messing with me
Sticky situation
Ain’t no clean way to deny it
I was trying to keep it casual
Now my heart done got invited
[Verse 2 — Conversational, Raspy Edge]
Then last night… oh, last night
We crossed another kind of line
Made love like we were confessing
Everything we tried to hide
If those walls could talk, baby
They’d tell the truth with no shame
How your hands found my weakness
How my mouth kept saying your name
Ain’t nobody got to blame here
No villain, no trick, no plot
Just two grown people caught up
In something hotter than we thought
I tried to leave this morning
Got as far as finding my keys
Then you looked at me real quiet
And that goodbye got weak
[Pre-Chorus — Bluesy Bend]
Now I’m standing in the middle
Of what I said I’d never do
Falling past my own rules
Trying not to fall on you
[Chorus — Stacked Harmonies]
Sticky situation
This situation sticky
I came to touch your body
Now your spirit messing with me
Sticky situation
Ain’t no clean way to deny it
I was trying to keep it casual
Now my heart done got invited
[Bridge — Gospel-Rooted Plea]
I don’t want to play you
I don’t want to play myself
I don’t want to call this nothing
Then crave you with somebody else
If we keep stepping closer
We better tell the truth
Because a feeling this sweet
Can still make fools out of two
Girl, say what you’re feeling
I’ll put my pride down too
If this is more than pleasure
Let’s stop acting brand new
[Final Chorus — Emotional Lift]
Sticky situation
This situation sticky
I thought I had control
Till your love got in there with me
Sticky situation
Hard to leave, hard to stay cool
I was trying to keep my distance
Now I’m changing all my rules
[Outro — Soft Falsetto and Ad-Libs]
Mmm… sticky
Baby, you know it is
Wasn’t supposed to feel like this
Wasn’t supposed to get this deep
I came through for one thing
Now I’m wanting all of you
Sticky situation
And I don’t know what to do
