Summer in the city
Someone looking nice on a summer night
Someone bright-eyed, for the search of life
Wanna be the shining knight
Hey pretty girl
I wanna get the potential of affection with you
Wanna get the potential of undressing you
I wanna take you home, wanna do it right
I wanna take you for the night
Mayer said your body is a wonderland
But Nate's wondering how your body hasn't landed a man
At least, a committed one: one to love you, hold you never let go of you
For the night, the day, if not I'll be the first say
That's me
Baby girl, I'll plead
I'll be sweet, I'll be rough, whatever needed from me I'll be enough to hold you down
Give you love and affection
I'll give you the potential for a late night session (ha)
I saw that chuckle, it's okay to wanna unbuckle our pants, then hands
But first, I got one plan
Before you jousting my lance, let's grab a drink and a dance
I wanna see you doing, wanna be the one to get you moving
You can call me your armor of steel
I wanna be around you so tight, so hard you can feel
I'll protect you from all the noise inside this club and I'll tell you
That you're the only one my eyes are looking at this summer venue
So you can take that to heart
Baby, don't get me started
On all the ways you drive me crazy
I'll be dead before you departed my night
Fuck that, my life
I've said it before, so listen up twice
I wanna get the potential of affection with you
Wanna get the potential of undressing you
I wanna take you home, wanna do it right
I wanna take you home for the night
I know I can be a bit of smooth talker
But my talk, follows my walk, driven by my heart; here's a thought
What if we Crystal Palace out of here, skate through glamor in here
I wanna hear your voice outside the clamor here
Other guys wanna take you home for the night
But I'm gon' take you home for the rest of your life
Through the days of adversity and plights, controversy
I wanna be your shining knight, eternally
(Oh, home, wanna do it right)
(I wanna take you home for the night)
