‘Body Language’, Tennyson’s first song featuring another vocalist, has Aloe Blacc delivering an energetic vocal performance on top of a classic, sprightly Tennyson-style instrumental.
Blacc expresses his discontent with modern romance and its complications throughout the song, urging his partner to...
[Verse 1]
Strike a pose
Hold it, don't move
Now switch it up
And keep your mouth shut
Don't you say a word unless you say it with your body, baby
I suppose
That you wanna tell me something
But I don't wanna hear it
Let me see it
Put it in your hips and shoulders
Say it with your body, baby
[Chours]
So much talking, talking going on
I'm just trying to listen to the song (mmm)
Yes, I like you a lot
Don't get me wrong
But don't say anything else
Or you'll be leaving here by yourself, babe
[Verse 2]
Put your feet
Right next to mine
Now follow me and
We can dance slow
Don't you say a word unless you say it with your body, baby
Put your hands right here in mine
Hold on tight, never let go
Put it in your hips and shoulders
Say it with your body, baby
[Chours]
So much talking, talking going on
I'm just trying to listen to the song (mmm)
Yes, I like you a lot
Don't get me wrong
But don't say anything else
Or you'll be leaving here by yourself, baby
[Bridge]
And when you're speaking that body language
It shows and gets me, yeah
'Cause when you're speaking that body language
[Verse 3]
Finally, starts to fly
With the forest in your eyes
Your body language
Your body language
Hearts start to burn
Baby, I'm just trying to learn
Your body language
Your body language
Yeah
