[Verse 1]
You walk in late, the whole room makes space
Silk on your shoulders, a smile on your face
You say, “Trust me,” like it’s easy to do
I know what you’re after; I’m after it too
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep your promises folded in gold
Say my name softly, then take control
I should be running, but look at me stay
You make a bad bargain sound like a fate
[Chorus]
Boss, you talk so sweet, make the danger taste like honey
One little “come here” and I forget about the money
You say, “You’re safe with me,” with that hand upon the door
I know your kind of love always comes with something more
Boss, you talk so sweet, and I like the way you lie
You give me one good reason, I’ll give you one more try
[Verse 2]
Your watch catches light when you turn your wrist
A quiet little warning I don’t want to miss
You call me your favorite, I call your bluff
You grin like you know I can’t get enough
[Pre-Chorus]
You keep your promises folded in gold
Say my name softly, then take control
I should be running, but look at me stay
You make a bad bargain sound like a fate
[Chorus]
Boss, you talk so sweet, make the danger taste like honey
One little “come here” and I forget about the money
You say, “You’re safe with me,” with that hand upon the door
I know your kind of love always comes with something more
Boss, you talk so sweet, and I like the way you lie
You give me one good reason, I’ll give you one more try
[Bridge]
No ring, no vow, just a key in my hand
You say, “Pick a side,” like you don’t understand
I’m not your little secret, not your alibi
So tell me what you’re offering—and look me in the eye
[Final Chorus]
Boss, you talk so sweet, make the danger taste like honey
One little “come here” and I forget about the money
You say, “You’re safe with me,” but I can read the score
I know your kind of love—and still I want some more
Boss, you talk so sweet, now the choice is mine
You give me one good reason; I’ll give you one more try
[Outro]
Talk sweet, boss
Tell me what it costs
