[Intro]
Come closer, darling
I know you like a little danger
[Verse 1]
Your coat on the chair, your name on the door
You say you’re a gentleman, then count what you’re owed
I laugh at your joke, let you think that you won
You make every promise like a loaded gun
[Pre-Chorus]
You call me your angel, your alibi
Say, “Trust me, baby,” with a practiced smile
But I see the ledger tucked under your hand
You can charm the whole room—I know who you are
[Chorus]
Sweet talk, boss man, tell me what I wanna hear
“Nothing can touch you when I’m standing here”
Sweet talk, boss man, velvet over steel
You can sell me heaven, but I know the deal
Kiss me like a secret, hold me like a prize
I can read the truth behind those pretty eyes
Sweet talk, boss man, keep that honey coming
I might let you think that I’m the one you’re running
[Verse 2]
You send the black car, I send it away
Meet me by the bakery at the end of the day
You bring white roses, I bring one question
Who keeps the keys when you’re making confessions?
[Pre-Chorus]
You call me your angel, your alibi
Say, “Trust me, baby,” with a practiced smile
But I know the silence that follows your name
You can fool the whole town—I don’t play that game
[Chorus]
Sweet talk, boss man, tell me what I wanna hear
“Nothing can touch you when I’m standing here”
Sweet talk, boss man, velvet over steel
You can sell me heaven, but I know the deal
Kiss me like a secret, hold me like a prize
I can read the truth behind those pretty eyes
Sweet talk, boss man, keep that honey coming
I might let you think that I’m the one you’re running
[Bridge]
Keep your ring, keep your driver, keep your grand parade
I don’t need protection from the mess you made
If you want my heart, put the cards on the table
No more pretty lies, no more “if you’re able”
[Final Chorus]
Sweet talk, boss man, tell me what I wanna hear
“Nothing can touch you when I’m standing here”
Sweet talk, boss man, velvet over steel
You can sell me heaven, but I know the deal
Kiss me like a secret, hold me like a prize
I can read the truth behind those pretty eyes
Sweet talk, boss man, keep that honey coming
I might let you think that I’m the one you’re running
[Outro]
Come closer, darling
I know exactly what you are
