Implications

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
