After Midnight

Verse 1 – Female

After midnight, lights low, house asleep
Heartbeat talking while the world don’t speak
Looking for a taste just to calm my nerves
Something sweet that give me what I deserve
No calories on my conscience tonight
Just one lick, yeah, it’ll feel so right
Tiptoe steps, don’t make a sound
Got that craving when the clock winds down

⸻

Pre-Chorus – Female (Lead) / Male (Ad-libs)

Female:
Tell myself it’s just one time
But that lie don’t ever hold the line

Male (soft ad-libs):
Yeah… mm-hmm… you know it won’t…

Female:
Soon as I taste it, I’m right back
Thinking ’bout that after midnight snack

⸻

Chorus – Together (Call & Response)

Female:
That after midnight snack got me weak

Male:
Got you sneaking, got you losing sleep

Female:
Mocha brown with a chocolate glow

Male:
Got you saying “damn” real slow

Together:
I want it, I need it, I beg for more
Got me pacing across the floor
It’s dangerous how good it feels
That after midnight snack so real

⸻

Verse 2 – Male

Mesmerized for a moment in time
Mind saying stop, body crossing lines
Feels like a sin but it taste like truth
Nature’s addiction pulling me loose
Got that sneaky smile all day long
People ask me what I’m on
All I say is “you wouldn’t understand”
If you never had that late-night plan

⸻

Pre-Chorus – Male (Lead) / Female (Ad-libs)

Male:
Fighting thoughts that keep calling back
Every nerve wants that midnight snack

Female (whispered ad-libs):
Come get it… don’t fight it…

Male:
I wrestle reason, lose the fight
Soon as the moon kisses the night

⸻

Chorus – Together (Full Blend)

That after midnight snack got me weak
Got me craving while the city sleep
Lickable, touchable, can’t explain
Got me high off a natural flame
I want it, I need it, don’t judge my ways
Got me dreaming it for days
It’s dangerous how good it feels
That after midnight snack so real

⸻

Bridge – Intimate Exchange

Male:
Like a lighter to a cigarette
I know better but I ain’t done yet

Female:
In my dreams I taste it slow
Wake up wishing I could go

Together (soft):
One more moment, just one bite
Chasing pleasure in the quiet night

⸻

Chorus (Low & Slow) – Female Lead / Male Harmony

Female:
That after midnight snack…
Got me whispering its name

Male (harmony):
Whispering… whispering…

Female:
Got me spinning in directions
Never knowing where I’ll land

Together:
So tempting, so addictive
I should probably turn back
But my heart keep saying
“Go on… get that snack”

⸻

Outro – Together (Fade Out)

After midnight, when the world goes black
I’m still thinking ’bout that midnight snack
So careful… but I’m coming back
Yeah… that after midnight snack

Female = playful, teasing, confident
Male = smooth, persuasive, low-register intimacy
Tempo: slow-to-mid groove
