Intro – Smooth Harmony]
Yeah…
Mmm… Tamia…
You know I would never rush you, girl…
But tonight just feel different…
Do you mind if I…
(Just let me talk to you for a minute…)
⸻
[Verse 1]
We been cool for a long time,
Late nights on your couch, you’d fall asleep on mine.
Never pushed a line, never tried to take it there,
I always made sure you knew I cared.
But that night you looked at me different,
Like your heart said somethin’ your lips didn’t mention.
Silence in the room but the vibe felt right,
I could feel your heartbeat changin’ in the moonlight.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
You leaned a little closer, didn’t say a word,
Just gave me a look I ain’t never seen before.
And before I make a move, girl, I gotta ask you true…
⸻
[Chorus]
Do you mind if I…
Hold you a little closer tonight?
Do you mind if I…
Show you everything you been tryna hide?
Do you mind if I…
Let my hands speak what my heart’s been tryna say?
Baby, if you don’t mind…
I’ll love you in the grown-man way.
⸻
[Verse 2]
You said you been thinkin’ ’bout us,
But you didn’t know if you could trust
The way that your body react when I’m near,
How your soul feel safe when I’m right here.
I told you I ain’t here to play games,
I ain’t here to hurt you or bring you no pain.
All I need is one word from you
To take this deeper like we both want to.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, you smiled like you knew what was next,
Pulled me a little closer, laid your head on my chest.
And before I go any further… I just need to hear you say…
⸻
[Chorus]
Do you mind if I…
Hold you a little closer tonight?
Do you mind if I…
Show you everything you been tryna hide?
Do you mind if I…
Let my hands speak what my heart’s been tryna say?
Baby, if you don’t mind…
I’ll love you in the grown-man way.
⸻
[Bridge – Emotional, grown & honest]
I ain’t tryna rush you, girl,
I’m just tryna show you what you mean in my world.
If this is the moment, let me make it right,
Let me be the man you been dreamin’ ’bout at night.
Just say the word…
And I’ll meet you where you are.
I’ll move slow…
I’ll go far…
I’ll take my time…
All I need to know is…
⸻
[Final Chorus
