Lyrics
[Verse 1] You’ve got a silver tongue, baby, smooth as midnight silk I’m drinking in your whispers like they’re honey-sweet milk Every word you spin wraps around me like a snare Got me leaning closer, breathless for the air [Pre-Chorus] You don’t need to rush, take your sweet, sweet time Trace every hidden story with a clever rhyme Slow and deliberate, like you’re tasting the wine Turning quiet moments into something divine [Chorus] Cunning linguist, oh, the way you speak to me Got my body listening, trembling in your melody Cunning linguist, weaving magic with your mouth Mapping out my secrets, headed further south You know exactly what to say, and how to say it right Cunning linguist… all through the night [Verse 2] You read between the lines like no one ever could You find the hidden rhythm, like I knew you would Soft confessions flowing, a gentle, rising tide Exploring every language that I keep inside [Pre-Chorus] No need for translation, you already know the way How to make my silence start to bloom and sway Patient and precise, with that gifted art You’re pressing on the pulse that’s beating through my heart [Chorus] Cunning linguist, oh, the way you speak to me Got my body listening, trembling in your melody Cunning linguist, weaving magic with your mouth Mapping out my secrets, headed further south You know exactly what to say, and how to say it right Cunning linguist… all through the night [Bridge] Mmm, keep talking… don’t stop the flow Let your words wander where the wild things grow Deeper and deeper, till the tension peaks I love the way you use those techniques when you speak [Final Chorus] Cunning linguist, master of the subtle art You speak straight to my soul and you play your part Cunning linguist, got me lost inside your rhyme Losing track of hours, losing track of time Yeah, you know the language that makes my spirit fly Cunning linguist… my favorite kind of high [Outro] Cunning linguist… The way you use your tongue is such a sin... Keep writing on me with that velvet pen… All night long…
