Lyrics
Say My Name
You've been teasin' me for quite some time
I am dizzy with candlelight and wine
I promised you could dance with me
A promise I intend to keep
?Cause I like the way you linger in my mind when you go
And I like the way you circle me and move in nice and slow
Now I don't mind the rules keep on changing in your game
You can play me anytime cuz I just like to hear you say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Now you don't seem the jealous type
But I see the way you're watchin' when I talk to other guys
I swore to you you'd have to wait
A promise I intend to break
?Cause I like the way you linger in my mind when you go
And I like the way you circle me and move in nice and slow
Now I don't mind the rules keep on changing in your game
You can play me anytime cuz I just like to hear you say my name
Say my name
Say my name
Use your powers of persuasion to lure me in
Paint my picture in shades of gray and red
Teach me a lesson 'bout playin' with fire
I'll sing a song to get the mood just right
?Cause I like the way you linger in my mind when you go
And I like the way you circle me and move in nice and slow
Now I don't mind the rules keep on changing in your game
You can play me anytime cuz I just like to hear you,
I just like to hear you, I just like to hear you say
My name
Use your powers of persuasion
Powers of persuasion
Say my name
