Brian Mcknight On The Down And Low Lyrics

On The Down And Low Lyrics

Maxine was 5'9''
Had a man and she didn't mind
Walked up to me nice and
slow
What she wanted
I did not know
Gave me her pager number
And
said call her "anytime"
Then she whispered in my ear
(chorus)
She
said
My body wants you so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to
know
Keep it
On the down and low
She said
My body wants you
so
For what I miss at home
Nobody has to know
Keep it
On the down
and low
She says that he
Doesn't take her anywhere
Used to say sweet
things
Acts like he doesn't even care
He thinks that she's content
Cos
he buys her cars
And he pays her rent
But she's not ready to leave
She
turned and said to me
(repeat chorus)
Bridge:
I wouldn't treat you
that way
If you were my lady
I wouldn't share you
You'd be mine and
mine alone, oh yeah
If he continues wastin' your time
Girl, he's
crazy
I'll take her
(Got to get down and low)
Maxine looked into my
eyes
Wanted me to be the other guy
Cos tonight she's needin' someone to
hold
Lonely nights can be, oh, so cold
Deprived of all the things
She
misses, wants, wishes, and needs
Got hotter than a hundred an' three
She
turned and said to me
(repeat chorus)
(repeat chorus to fade)
