"Damage"

If you got it, it ain't no question
No, it ain't no room for guessin'
No more than emotionally invested (No, no)
Showin' you all my imperfections, oh

If I let you, you'll take me for granted, yeah (You, you, you, you)
If I'm worth more than you could manage, manage, yeah

Open with me, oh we could be honest
Closer to me, oh giving me solace
Promise that you won't let me fall

Holding me tight
Loving me right
Giving me life
All night
You could be
(You could be)
Telling me lies
Making me cry
Wasting my time
The whole time
So just be
Careful what you take for granted, yeah
'Cause with me know you could do damage
You, you could do damage
You, you could do damage, yeah

Worried about it I'm putting pressure (You know)
You'll only cut me if I let you
No, he ain't the one, it's just for pleasure
Either learn me or I'm a lesson gone

If you want me don't take me for granted, yeah, yeah
If I'm worth more than you could manage, baby

Oh you're falling for me, oh baby I've caught it
Ooh we could be whatever you wanna call it
Promise that you won't let me fall

Holding me tight
Loving me right
Giving me life
All night
You could be
Telling me lies
Making me cry
Wasting my time
The whole time
So just be
Careful what you take for granted, yeah
'Cause with me know you could do damage
You, you could do damage
You, you could do damage
Oh, you could do damage
Know you could do damage, yeah
Oh, you could do damage, yeah, yeah
Oh, you could do damage, oh with me

I love how she’s being sexy without trying and without being too provocative. As well this song sounds like 80s pop mixed with a modern R&B twist. Definitely a vibe.🔥

@prime237

It's Herb Alpert "Making Love In The Rain""

@design401

@@prime237 How you gonna forget Janet Jackson... lol She probably really loves Janet...

@prime237

Oh no doubt. I'm just saying that she sampled Making Love In The Rain which has Janet on it.
