SUMMARY: The speaker offers to buy a woman a simple drink at the bar. She dismisses what she perceives as weak flirtation, so the speaker decides to go big or go home, and surprises and pleasure ensue! “That’s exactly the point…it’s only a compliment, and a sincere one at that. If I were going to get your attention, really let you know that I’m interested, I think I could do much better than an unoriginal one-liner.”
Put a drink on my tab. Really, I want to. Wait, free drinks for the performers.
Hold on, you're the house band singer? Whoa, whoa, whoa. No offense.
I guess I just didn't recognize you up close. Hard to see you with all the lights and the smoke on the stage. No, this isn't my first time here.
As a matter of fact, I'm here a lot. It's sort of my weekend hangout. It's close to where I work.
It's always a pretty cool atmosphere, even when it's packed like this. And there happens to be a pretty great band. Hey, I told you.
I didn't recognize you. You know, if you'd walked up to me right here at the bar belting out a tune, I'd have known right away. Oh, absolutely.
They should keep a spotlight on you when you come down for a break, you know? Have it follow you through the crowd as you make your way to the bar. Sing to the patrons along the way.
Why not? Then you wouldn't have to have this awkward conversation with a regular to this fine establishment. Who happens to love your voice? And honestly, I really had no idea how beautiful you are.
Now I know I should have been getting closer to the stage. Hitting on you? Please, tell me that's not the way guys actually approach you.
That's exactly the point. It's only a compliment. And a sincere one at that.
While we're going to get your attention, I really wanted to let you know that I'm interested. I think I could do much better than an unoriginal one-liner. But you know, the way you keep looking at me, it's almost as if you were hoping that I was flirting with you.
No retort? Yep. I must have guessed it.
Women don't give me that icy stare of death when I'm wrong about something. I hit the nail on the head, didn't I? It's totally okay.
You can tell me you wanted me to chase you. Alright, alright. Don't get so flustered.
I'm only teasing. Besides, so much time for you to go back to work, huh? I wouldn't want to distract you too much.
And I think I'll go find a table. Enjoy your break. Baby, lock the door and turn the lights down low Put some music on and song a little slow Baby, we ain't got no place to go I hope you understand I've been thinking about this all day long Never felt a feeling quite this strong I can't believe how much it turns me on Just to be your man There's no hurry Don't you worry We can take our time Come a little closer Let's go over What I had in mind Baby, lock the door and turn the lights down low Put some music on and song a little slow Baby, we ain't got no place to go I hope you understand I've been thinking about you all day long Never felt a feeling quite this strong I can't believe how much it turns me on Just to be your man Ain't nobody ever loved nobody the way that I love you We're alone now You don't know how long I've wanted to Lock the door and turn the lights down low Put some music on and song a little slow Baby, we ain't got no place to go I hope you understand I've been thinking about this all day long Never felt a feeling quite this strong I can't believe how much it turns me on Just to be your man I can't believe how much it turns me on Just to be your man I can't believe how much it turns me on Just to be your man See, I didn't even have to use a pickup line now, did I?
Bad singing definitely makes an impression I'll be waiting at the bar when you're done tonight Of course I'm still here I'm waiting on someone I am She's amazing The voice of an angel and gorgeous Head to toe She doesn't know it yet But I'm gonna take her out I'm pretty certain she'll say yes She's curious Well, apparently I approached her in a pretty original and memorable way And she's dying to know what I'm all about And you can only learn so much about someone meeting in a bar She'll want to go because she wants the full story No, her curiosity isn't actually about me She just thinks it is No, not about me at all She really wants to understand why she feels a pull to know more That's a new sensation for her Not feeling in control She's definitely the type that she used to be in on time But not this time So Are you up for finding out? Hmm, come on then Let's go Not what you expected What I said was You can only learn so much about someone meeting in a bar But dancing? Dancing can tell you so much more Enough talking, give me your hand Let me show you Look around All these people Some oblivious to everyone else dancing along The rhythm, beat, pulling them into their own world Others in groups, enjoying the freedom to let go and be crazy And then the couples Hmm, ah, those are the ones that are really here with a purpose Yeah, just watch them for a moment The songs leading their movement Little incidental touches Brushing a hip with a hand Grounding just a bit closer Lingering eye contact That says more than any words You can pick out the ones who are just being polite, praying for the end of the song From the ones who communicate passion Even hunger with each sway See what I mean?
When I stand behind you Like this My hands lightly on your waist You instinctively begin to rock back and forth in time I'm not guiding you Just the spark of contact Intoxicating music, heightening your senses Your body just knows what to do And if I draw my hands up along your sides Your arms raise on their own Your body becomes more in tune with both mine and the flow of the song My hands reach yours, above your head And the movement draws closer Touching bodies I bet your eyes closed when my breath tickled the back of your neck, didn't they? I bring your hands down with mine Feel us moving together instinctively See? Your hands came to rest on my hips It's what I wanted, but I didn't have to say a thing We both know My hands on your thighs I feel the goosebumps under them That quiver I felt You're beginning to understand what I was saying, aren't you?
Can you feel the difference? It's subtle, but it's there That's right, go with it Turn around and face me Your fingers tracing the waistline of my pants So slowly back and forth Good girl, you're letting music lead Your eyes haven't left mine, I see what's in them My hands holding you close to me like this Our bodies tantalizing each other in this way It's intoxicating Was that a whimper? My hands finding that gorgeous ass Using it to pull you to me I had a delicious response I told you This is where you can really learn about someone Your head tilted back in that grounding motion against my balls I can tell you're wondering what it would be like if I kissed you Blackberry and Vodka?
I knew that wasn't water in between your sets Oh? Just the last drink? Why did you suddenly need a drink? You're trembling in my arms Maybe you need another one? Where are you going? No, not to the bar But yes, I'm going to get you a drink Take my hand, let me show you something first It's totally okay I doubt the owner's going to mind I mean, we could ask him But I happen to have it on good authority But I happen to have it on good authority That he's currently entertaining a beautiful guest The one in need of a drink?
Here, I'm afraid I'm out of Blackberry and Vodka But I had some Bacardi, a little Coke splashed in And a hint of lemon You look like a lemon girl to me There may have been a certain bartender There may have been a certain bartender That let slip what your drink of choice was But I'll never tell Of course I did my homework Anything worth effort requires effort after all I see that you've had a lot of fun I see that you've found the viewing window I usually leave the blind closed Because I'm usually up here to get away from the commotion Go ahead, you can open them Find yourself wanting to watch the crowd? It really is addictive to study how people communicate without speaking That's true I did speak to you at the bar And I did sing to you But my words were much more effective when carried by music and sound, weren't they? I'm quite sure about it We spoke before my impromptu serenade And you may have been intrigued, but only in passing But now, well, here we are No, it wasn't just the song It was you giving yourself permission to allow someone else to lead for a moment No different than when we were on the floor down there dancing You let the music take over Moved in the rhythm that your body wanted to Got closer to me without thought or contemplation Just Like This This And asked me to kiss you Like you are right now But this time I want you to use your words Be a good girl And ask me for what you want You're holding your breath Is it because I called you a good girl?
Don't worry Your secret is safe with me I told you earlier that I knew you were used to being in charge, didn't I? Everyone needs to have someone else lead sometimes All you have to do is say the words Tell me you want me to lead That you're eager to be my good girl See? I knew you could do it Now sit your glass down I want to watch the crowd with you for a moment Not yet Not yet I'm leading, remember?
Then turn around, there you go That's right Gaze out at the sea of people below I just want to press against you here Feel your body surrendering to mine While the night goes on around us I feel you moving a bit against me Even with the music so low up here in our little sanctuary It gets to you, doesn't it? Look down there Just. ..
yeah, there on the left That couple dancing completely apart from everyone else Yeah, the girl in the blue dress The slow, intense movements against one another Her hand in his hair Such a languid kiss in a public space Absolutely scandalous Did you notice? His hand has found its way under her dress You can almost see everything And she couldn't care less Her mind is empty Except for the heat raging between them She knows what he wants What she needs And she's offering it So erotic I feel the same heat from you I've hardly touched you And it's like you're going to burn me alive No, don't turn around Keep watching those two She's turned the ground against him.
