[Verse 1]
Sayde saw Tellie walk in gold
Like a blade made warm, like a story told
Hands on hips and a fire in the stare
Every head turned, but Sayde was there
Boots hit hard on the cellar floor
Heartbeat crashing like a locked iron door
One look, one spark, one mad, clean start
Now the whole room shakes in Sayde’s heart
[Pre-Chorus]
Tellie’s smile cuts through the noise
Sayde can’t outrun it, no, can’t avoid
Breath by breath, the pulse runs fast
The kind of flame that was built to last
[Chorus]
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
Tellie’s body, holy and bold
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
That fierce shape of velvet and gold
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
Say it loud till the walls all ring
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
And the night starts to sing
[Verse 2]
Tellie moves like a thunder prayer
Every step says, “Yeah, I’m still right here”
Laugh like sparks on a broken chain
Sayde falls hard, and loves the pain
Armor up, but the heart stays bare
No more hiding, no more small-talk scare
Sayde leans in with a fearless grin
Tellie pulls the whole world in
[Pre-Chorus]
Tellie’s smile cuts through the noise
Sayde can’t outrun it, no, can’t avoid
Breath by breath, the pulse runs fast
The kind of flame that was built to last
[Chorus]
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
Tellie’s body, holy and bold
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
That fierce shape of velvet and gold
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
Say it loud till the walls all ring
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
And the night starts to sing
[Bridge]
[Half-time break]
No crown, no cage, no borrowed name
Just Tellie standing, burning the same
Sayde kneels down, then rises fast
This kind of love was forged to last
[Final Chorus]
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
Tellie’s body, holy and bold
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
That fierce shape of velvet and gold
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
Say it loud till the walls all ring
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
And the night starts to sing
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
Tellie’s body, louder than steel
Sayde loves Tellie’s body
And it’s real, real, real
