Implications

[Intro]
Well, I got that smooth talk, got that kind of charm
Tonight's the night, girl, I mean you no harm
But there's a little shadow where the good light shines
Baby, everything’s just a matter of time

[Verse 1]
Knock on my door, girl, I see that look in your eye
There's a red flag, a symbol, yeah, it’s hanging high
You step inside, hesitant, but you know you gotta see
What's waiting at the end of this little mystery

[Pre-Chorus]
The car's waitin' outside, with that beat so low
Music’s kinda jarring but you still won't go
You glance at the back, heart in a twist and a curl
Girl, I got some secrets but I ain’t sayin’ no pearl

[Chorus]
She can’t say no because of the implications
Got a whole lot of strange in her patience
But she’s stuck between a little fear and temptation
She can’t say no because of the implications

[Verse 2]
We’re sittin' down at the table, folks are starin' around
I flash a quick smile, but they don’t make a sound
In my coat, there's a gun, in my boot, a shiny knife
Tonight, girl, I’m just testin’ how you feel alive

[Pre-Chorus]
Her phone’s in the car, no way to call away
Stuck in my trap, don’t know if she can stay
The look in her eye, it’s a game of persuasion
Girl, I got these feelings but I ain’t takin' no blame

[Chorus]
She can’t say no because of the implications
Got a whole lot of strange in her patience
But she’s caught between fear and temptation
She can’t say no because of the implications

[Bridge]
She's tryin' to find her way, figure out the plan
But with every step, I hold her hand
Inviting her inside, she trembles but complies
Tonight’s a gamble with no tellin’ whys

[Outro]
As she walks through that door, she’s worn and worn thin
Watching her hesitate, I let that grin begin
In her mind, she’s caught in a lot of revelations
She can’t say no because of the implications

Blues, happy mood, guitar and harmonica, soulful vocals
