Miguel
Though this track appeared on Miguel’s sophomore album, the drunken love ode was actually recorded several years earlier while Miguel was working on his debut LP All I Want Is You.
During an annotation session with Genius, Miguel explained how he and producer Salaam Remi came up with the track.
On...
[Verse 1]
Frustration (watching you dance)
Hesitation (to get in them pants)
Come closer baby (so I can touch)
One question: Am I moving too fast?
[Bridge]
'Cause I ain't leaving alone
Feel like I could be honest babe
We both know that we're grown
That's why I wanna know
[Hook]
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Yeah you look good, and I got money
But I don't wanna waste my time
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
You look good; we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time
[Verse 2]
Temptation (is calling your name)
Sweet persuasion, oh (baby this is a game)
Come closer baby (if you like what you hear)
Impassioned (is what I'm making you feel)
[Bridge]
'Cause I ain't leaving you alone
Feel like I could be honest babe
We both know that we're grown
That's why I wanna know
[Hook]
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me?
Yeah you look good, and I got money
But I don't wanna waste my time
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
You look good; we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time, waste my time
[Verse 3: Miguel]
No-no-no. I ain't judging
If you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
What? More power to you
If you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
Le-le-let me dig that out like a fossil
Damn baby, that ass is colossal
Pilates and milk did that body so good
You got in them pants? I wish I could
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me? (oh, well...)
You look good, and we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time (oh no)
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three
Agree? Indeed
You look good, and we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time
[Vamp: Miguel]
Or waste your time, or waste your time
Or waste our time, baby it's alright
Baby it's alright, baby it's alright yeah
Oh it's alright now
Alright, oh yeah
I don't wanna waste my time, no
I don't wanna waste no time, oh no
I don't wanna waste your time, babe
I don't wanna waste our time, oh my time, oh whoa, now
[Hook: Miguel]
How many drinks would it take you to leave with me? (oh yeah)
Yeah you look good, and I got money
But I don't wanna waste my time (come wit' me baby)
Back of my mind, I'm hoping you say two or three (yeah it's just a short drive home from here)
You look good; we came to party
But I don't wanna waste my time (waste my time)
[Vamp 2: Miguel]
No-no-no, I ain't judgin'
If you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
What? More power to you
If you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
I ain't judgin'
If you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
What? More power to you
If you do decide that you might be ___ing tonight
[Outro: Miguel]
Let's go, shit we only live once right?
