Clock strikes one, I watch you all night long
Moving up slow, I never lose control
Are you in the mood?, just let the bass line run
Cuz I just got to know, why are you all alone

Because at night you play but the man never holds you down
That's why I gotta hold back now
Despite the game I stand still while you move it round
That's why I'm gonna hold back now

The way ya move in the light, ya make a man feel right
A cold hard glance, any man got a chance
But never one can stay, so let the roots band play
Cuz I just got to know, just why you're all alone

Because at night you play but the man never holds you down
That's why I gotta hold back now
Despite the game I stand still while you move it round
That's why I'm gonna hold back now

Clock strikes one, I watch you all night long
Moving up slow, I never lose control
Are you in the mood?, just let the bass line run
Cuz I just got to know, why are you all alone
