We Can't Do This Here… But I Know a Place Lyrics

You lean in close with a look in your eyes

A little too bold a little unwise

Darling take care—this isn't the scene

Too many whispers too much caffeine

Your hands are saying what your lips won't confess

Tugging at trouble buttoned-up in that vest

The walls have ears and the lights are too bright

But I know somewhere with a softer night

Oh we can't do this here… but I know a place

With candlelit corners and no need to chase

A room with a view where the moon melts the air

No questions no answers—just meet me there

The maître d's watching the gossip runs quick

One stolen moment could do the trick

But I prefer something with velvet and lace

So let's not be reckless—let's just change the pace

Mmm love's like jazz—it's best when it sways

Not rushed not loud just lost in the haze

So if you've got patience a taste for the chase

Then follow my lead—I know a place

Oh we can't do this here… but I know a place

With candlelit corners and no need to chase

A room with a view where the moon melts the air

No questions no answers—just meet me there

So finish your drink don't make a scene

Slip me a note keep it serene

A touch on your sleeve a slow parting glance

Now tell me dear—do you like to dance?
