[Intro]
It's gonna take two, two hearts
Two hours, two more
I'm telling you that these two lips
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
[Verse 1]
In and out of delirious
Everything is so mysterious with you
Back and forth to the beat of us
Ring alarms 'cause we're heating up this room
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, when you touch my body
Everything feels so perfect
Hurry up 'cause I'm worth it
(I'm worth it, you're worth it)
If you want me, just want me
Show me you're made of magic
Send a signal to the stars and tell them where we are is where we wanna be
[Refrain]
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
(Ah, ah, ah)
[Verse 2]
All alone in a fantasy
That's the place you don't have to be with me
Close your eyes, keep them close to me
Satisfy my desires and needs
[Pre-Chorus]
Baby, when you touch my body (Ah)
Everything feels so perfect (Ah)
Hurry up 'cause I'm worth it (Ah)
(I'm worth it, you're worth it)
If you want me, just want me
Show me you're made of magic
Send a signal to the stars and tell them where we are is where we wanna be
[Chorus]
It's gonna take two, two hearts
Two hours, two more
I'm telling you that these two lips
Could do so much more
[Post-Chorus]
(These two lips can do so much more) They could do so much more
(These two lips could do so much more) So much more
(These two lips could do so much more) So much more
(These two lips can do so much more)
[Bridge]
These lips could turn milk to gold
These lips can soothe body and soul
These lips will take you places that you never thought you'd go
These lips are wanted in a hundred countries, maybe more
These lips can testify (Testify!), mystify (Mystify!)
And if they ever let you down, they will be justified (Ooh!)
These lips are satisfaction, they set off chain reactions
Send a signal to the stars and tell them where we are is where we wanna be
[Chorus]
It's gonna take two, two hearts
Two hours (Two hours), two more
And I'm telling you that these two lips
Can do so much more
[Post-Chorus]
So much more (Ah)
So much more (How much? How much?)
So much more (Ah)
These two lips can do so much more (Ah)
These two lips can do so much more
These two lips can do so much more
These two lips can do so much, so much more
[Outro]
(Ah-ah)
(Ah-ah)
(Ah-ah-ah)

It’s kind of yearning, and then it just pulls it back to be like, wink. It’s one that wants to carry on, it feels like the story’s not necessarily finished, like maybe you’ve just left that room, that dance floor, but the party’s still going on, so that’s why there’s this fade-out. I wanted the fade...
I wanted it to feel like there was Earth, Wind & Fire on this, or Minnie Riperton. It felt right to finish with this spoken-word thing at the end, which is me trying to do my little Gil Scott-Heron moment. But it’s also got the celebratory and dramatic backing vocals. It felt optimistic, and lik...
