Slow Dance For Real

Intro – slow harmony, auto-tune glide]
Turn the lights low...
808s talkin' like heartbeats
Ain’t no pretendin’ in here...
If it’s love, come show it for real

[Verse 1 – smooth bounce vocal, Chris Brown style]
Ain’t lookin’ for a friend in this mood
Feelin’ like I’m stuck in two shoes
One steppin’ out, one steppin’ in
Body say "stay," but soul won’t bend
Been patient, now the bottle half gone
Room spinnin’, but the vibe too strong
Slow motion, make that thing confess
Wanna see the truth swing out that dress

[Pre-Chorus – harmony like Jacquees, light falsetto]
You movin' like love got a curfew
Can’t play shy when the hurt know you
Ain’t no games when the lights go dim
Don’t act new like you ain’t feel him
Whatchu sayin’?
Can you? Can you?

[Chorus – full bounce R&B energy]
Gimme one reason not to believe
If it’s real, then bring it to me
Ain’t no switchin', no in-between
You dancin’ like you meant to leave
But I know that touch ain’t cheap
Don’t fake it, don’t tease
I don’t wanna slow dance if it’s weak
Slow dance for real in the deep

[Verse 2 – whispery start, then bounce builds]
Look, when that beat drop, don’t stall
It’s heat in the way that you fall
Every move say somethin’ I need
Don’t lie to the rhythm in me
You blockin' signals like you scared to feel
Got me readin' signs you ain’t tryna reveal
But I done seen real move in the dark
You ain’t gotta speak, just play your part

[Pre-Chorus – choir-like stacks, harmonized layers]
Used to be the one to catch your fall
Now you dance like you above it all
Cold stare, but that skin still warm
Ain’t no safety when that song come on
Can you stay?
Can you? Can you?

[Chorus – repeat with more energy, layered vocals]
Gimme one reason not to believe
If it’s real, then bring it to me
Ain’t no switchin', no in-between
You dancin’ like you meant to leave
But I know that touch ain’t cheap
Don’t fake it, don’t tease
I don’t wanna slow dance if it’s weak
Slow dance for real in the deep

[Bridge – chopped & reverbed vocals, seductive tone]
Don’t move like you just vibin’
That step got pain hidin’
Strip the act, drop the fear
Slow dance close till it clear
Touch speak louder than the bass
Let me hear truth in your waist
Come closer… no space
Tonight, just love—no chase

[Final Chorus – full choir harmony + bounce drop]
Gimme one reason not to believe
If it’s real, then bring it to me
Ain’t no switchin', no in-between
You dancin’ like you meant to leave
But I know that touch ain’t cheap
Don’t fake it, don’t tease
I don’t wanna slow dance if it’s weak
Slow dance for real in the deep

[Outro – whispered vocals over fading 808s]
No lights, no lies…
Just move like you ain’t got pride
Slow dance… for real this time
