On The Down Low - Brian McKnight

Maxine was 5-foot-9

Had a man, and she didn’t mind

Walked up to me nice and slow

What she wanted I did not know

Gave me her pager number

And said call her «anytime»

Then she whispered in my ear

She said

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it on the down low

She said

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it on the down low

Oh oh, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low

Oh oh, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low

She says that he

Doesn’t take her anywhere

Used to say sweet things

Acts like he doesn’t even care

Deprived of all the things

She misses, wants, wishes and needs

Got hotter than a hundred-and-three

She turned and said to me

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it on the down low

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it on the down low

(Keep it on the down low)

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it on the down low, oh oh

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it on the down low

Oh oh, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low

Oh oh, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low

I wouldn’t treat you that way

If you were my lady

I wouldn’t share you

You’d be mine and mine alone, oh yeah

If he continues wastin' your time

Girl, he’s crazy

(I'll take her)

Try to hang on, Max

Maxine looked into my eyes

Wanted me to be the other guy

'Cause tonight she’s needin' someone to hold

Lonely nights can be, oh, so cold

He thinks that she’s content

'Cause he bought her car and pays her rent

But she’s not ready to leave

She turned and said to me

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it on the down low, oh

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it on the down low, oh

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it on the down low, oh oh

My body wants you so

For what I miss at home

Nobody has to know

Keep it on the down low

Oh oh, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low

Oh oh, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low

Oh oh, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low

Oh oh, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low
