Flowers & Teeth

(Intro )(whispered, intimate)

You want softness.

I want control.

Let’s not pretend we don’t like both.

(Verse 1)

You text me poems at 2 a.m.

Ask if I’m safe, ask where I’ve been

Hands shaking when you touch my waist

Like confidence is something you have to taste

You want romance, candles, wine

Say you like when I take my time

I clock the hunger behind your eyes

You want permission to be undone

(Pre-Chorus)

You say, “Tell me what you need”

I say it slow so you can breathe

I don’t raise my voice, don’t beg, don’t plead

I lean in close and let you read me

(Chorus)

You want flowers in your hands

I want power in my stance

I don’t strip to be adored

I undress you with commands

You want softness on your skin

I wear danger tucked within

If you kneel, it’s not for show

It’s ‘cause you want me to know

(Verse 2)

You talk feelings, therapy talk

I cross my legs and let you talk

Say you’re tired of being strong

I trace my nail and prove you wrong

You want reassurance, want it slow

Want to be wanted, want to be held

I can do that, I really can

Just don’t confuse it with being led

(Pre-Chorus)

You melt when I don’t rush

When I touch you like it’s hush

You crave the calm before the fall

I don’t chase — I let it crawl

(Chorus)

You want flowers in your hands

I want power in my stance

I don’t strip to be adored

I undress you with commands

You want softness on your skin

I wear danger tucked within

Say my name like it’s a sin

I decide when we begin

(Bridge) (low, slow, explicit energy)

You don’t want a girl to save you

You want a woman who sees through

The bravado, the boyish pride

And still lets you feel desired

I don’t need to touch you yet

Look how hard you are already

This is consent in velvet tones

This is control without a threat

(Final Chorus) (darker, heavier)

You want flowers, you want care

You want my mouth everywhere

I give affection, I give heat

But I don’t get weak on my knees

You want softness, want release

I want truth between your teeth

If you’re mine, you earn the stay

If I stay, you obey

(Outro) (whispered)

Power doesn’t shout.

It leans in.

And lets you ask for more.
