On Purpose lyrics

All this room And you’re right here Okay Walk past once, then you double back Same little smile, same look like that Room this big and you brush my sleeve You don’t owe me an apology You lean in, take your time with my name I liked it fine till you said it that way Now I wanna hear what else you got You start a sentence, let the bassline drop You know when to move Know when to wait Know when I’m looking Then look away You don’t have to tell me I can tell You do “who, me?” A little too well On purpose You do it on purpose Slow down, look back Make sure I notice On purpose Go on, take your time You know what you’re doing And so do I Do it again Do it again If you’re trying to keep me here It’s working Do it again Do it again You know what you’re doing On purpose Take my glass, leave a little red Hand it back, never miss a step I turn it to your lipstick mark You catch me right before the dark Lights come up, you’re closer still I move with you, let the space get filled You say, “You always get your way?” I say, “Ask me at the end of the day” My turn to move Your turn to wait My hand in yours You set the pace You don’t have to tell me I can tell You like being wanted I wear it well On purpose You do it on purpose Slow down, look back Make sure I notice On purpose Go on, take your time You know what you’re doing And so do I Do it again Do it again If you’re trying to keep me here It’s working Do it again Do it again You know what you’re doing On purpose Your friends say they’re leaving You tell them, “Go ahead” Then turn around and ask me What was it that I said? Nothing, baby You heard right I’m just giving you a second To change the rest of my night On purpose We do it on purpose Slow down, lean in Nobody’s nervous On purpose Go on, take your time You know what you’re doing And so do I Do it again Do it again If you’re trying to keep me here It’s working Do it again Do it again You know what you’re doing On purpose All this room. Still right here. On purpose
