Behind Closed Doors
Sledge Percy Lyrics

My baby makes me proud, Lord, don't she make me proud
My lover brings me great pride and joy, oh how she does it like nobody else.

She never makes a scene by hanging all over me in a crowd
She has such class and etiquette, she never seeks attention by grabbing my arm in public.

'Cause people like to talk, Lord, don't they love to talk
There are always people who love to gossip about others, isn't that the truth.

But when they turn out the lights, I know she'll be leaving with me
They may wonder where she goes with me, but they will never really know the answer.

And when we get behind closed doors
Our true intimacy is only known when we are alone, behind closed doors.

And she lets her hair hang down
She becomes relaxed and comfortable with me, letting her hair down both literally and figuratively.

And she makes me glad that I'm a man
In these intimate moments, she affirms my masculinity and makes me feel like a true man.

And no one knows what goes on behind closed doors
Our intimacy and what we share behind closed doors is our own private affair, with nobody else knowing what truly goes on.

My baby makes me smile, Lord, don't she make me smile
My lover brings great happiness and joy into my life, oh how she makes me smile wider than ever before.

She's never far away or too tired to say I want you
She always shows her love for me and never hesitates to express how much she desires me, no matter how tired she may be.

She's always a lady, just like a lady should be
She carries herself with such grace and dignity, always upholding the standards of a true lady.

But when they turn out the lights, she's still a baby to me
Despite all her sophistication and grace, she becomes vulnerable and childlike in our private moments together.
