I was checking this girl next door when her parents went out

So I knock at the door

You was standin' with a bottle of red wine, ready to pour

Dressed in long black satin and lace to the floor

So we jumped right in
The artist and the girl immediately got into a Jacuzzi together.

All calls diverted to answer phone

I mean, me and her parents were kind of cool

But they were the fine line between me and you

We were just doing things young people in love do

Parents tryna find out what we were up to

Why did I see two shadows moving in your bedroom light?

Now you're dressed in black

When I left, you were dressed in white

Can you fill me in?

Red wine bottle, half the contents gone

Midnight return, Jacuzzi turned on

Whenever the coast was clear and she'd ask me to come out

So she knocked at the door

I was standing with the keys in my hand to the four by four

Jumped in my ride, checkin' that nobody saw

The club we went in, we got down boun-bounced to the rhythm
The artist and the girl went to a club and danced to the beat of the music.

Saw it was early morning

Thought we'd better be leavin'

So I gave you my jacket for you to hold

Told you to wear it 'cause you felt cold

I mean me and her didn't mean to break the rules

I weren't trying to play your mum and dad for fools

Out with the girls, but leaving with the boy next door

Wearing a jacket, who's property?

Said you'd been queuing for a taxi

But you left all your money on the TV (can you tell me?)

All they seem to do
The girl's parents are always doing something.

Is be checking up on you, baby

Watchin' our every move

Think some day they might approve, baby
