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
