Silk Sonic: Leave the Door Open

Remarks:

This was the number one song on the US R&B chart this year, 2021. It went to #1 in the US on both the R&B and pop charts and made the top 20 on pop charts throughout the Anglosphere. Silk Sonic is made up of Anderson .Paak  and the omnipresent Bruno Mars. The song, or at least the Bruno Mars parts, would not be out of place in the early to middle 1970s when Philly soul ruled.

Lyrics:

Say baby, say baby, say baby

What you doin’? (What you doin’?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Oh, you got plans? (You got plans?)
Don’t say that (Shut yo’ trap)

I’m sippin’ wine (Sip, sip)
In a robe (Drip, drip)
I look too good (Look too good)
To be alone (Woohoo)

My house clean, uh (House clean)
My pool warm (Pool warm)
Just shaved (Smooth like a newborn)

We should be dancing, romancing, in the east wing
And the west wing of this mansion, what’s happenin’?

I ain’t playin’ no games, every word
That I say is coming straight from the heart, uh
So if you tryna lay in these arms

I’ma leave the door open
(I’ma leave the door open)
I’ma leave the door open, girl
(I’ma leave the door open, hopin’)

That you feel the way I feel
And you want me like I want you tonight, baby
Tell me that you’re coming through

Ooh, you’re so sweet (So sweet)
So tight (So tight)
I won’t bite (Uh-huh)
Unless you like (Unless you like)

If you smoke (What you smoke?)
I got the haze (Purple haze)
And if you’re hungry, girl I got filets (Wohoo)

Ooh baby, don’t keep me (Waiting)
There’s so much love we could be making (Shamon)

I’m talking kissing
Cuddling
Rose petals in the bathtub, girl lets jump in
It’s bubblin’

I ain’t playin no games, every word
That I say is coming straight from the heart, uh
So
(If you tryna lay in these arms)
If ya’
Tryna
Lay in these arms

I’ma leave the door open
(I’ma leave the door open)
I’ma leave the door open, girl
(I’ma leave the door open, hopin’)
Ooh-ooh

That you feel the way I feel
And you want me like I want you tonight, baby
Tell me that you’re coming through
(C’mon girl)

La, la, la, la-la-la-la
I need you baby

La, la, la, la-la-la-la
I got to see you baby

La, la, la, la-la-la-la
Girl, I’m tryna give you this
Ah

Hey, hey
I’ma leave my door open, baby
(I’ma leave the door open)

I’ma leave
I’ma leave my door open, girl
(I’ma leave the door open, hopin’)
And I’m hopin’

Hopin’, that you feel the way I feel
And you want me like I want you tonight, baby
Tell me that you’re coming through, woo

(La, la, la, la-la-la-la)
Tell me
(Tell me that you’re coming through)

Woo, woo-woo, woo, woo-woo, woo, woo-woo
Woo, woo-woo, woo, woo-woo, woo, woo-woo

(La, la, la, la-la-la-la)
La, la, la, la-la
(Tell me that you’re coming through)

Girl, I’m here just waiting for you (Ay)
Come on over, I’ll adore you (Girl, gotta know)
(La, la, la, la-la-la-la)
I’m waiting, waiting, waiting for you

(Tell me that you’re coming through)
Girl, I’m here just waiting for you
Come on over, I’ll adore you
