This opening track from Whitney’s third studio album of covers, “Candid”, is a cover of the song of the same name from contemporary R&B star Kelela. Supported by a quiet pulsing beat, the song simmers more reservedly than the original but maintains the same beautiful melody and lyrics.
Bank Head Lyrics
Like kickin’ an old bad habit
It’s hard; but I’m not standard
We locked eyes from far away
And then you slowly turned your face
Like middle school; we’re a secret
There’s more to it, but we keep back
It’s not a game –I only know we are moving at our pace
Remember in the winter?
Had to stop…it’s making me hot
Come on down. There’s no need to hide
Could you be my new love?
Could it be that we need some time?
I’m still browsing, there's no need to buy
It’s all I dreamed of…to get it started
Time goes by really slow
And I need to let it
It’s all I dreamed of…to get it started
Time goes by really slow and I
Need to let it out
I’m keeping you close, you know it
And I’m taking my time to show it
You’re touching me like you’ve had it all along
Feels like you’re right
Once you’re around I notice that
I need to draw you closer
I break away
I wonder how you keep it all inside
Remember in the winter?
Had to stop…it’s making me hot
Come on down. There’s no need to hide
Could you be my new love?
Could it be that we need some time?
I’m still browsing, there's no need to buy
It’s all I dreamed of…to get it started
Time goes by really slow and
I Need to let it out
Could you be my new love?
It’s all I’ve dreamed of
