WISH YOU WOULD Style: R&B / melodic soul Tempo: 82 BPM Mood: Late-night, romantic, seductive, emotional Instrumental: Warm Rhodes piano • deep 808 • soft guitar • atmospheric pads • crisp drums • layered vocal harmonies [Intro] (Soft guitar, rain ambience, filtered vocals) Yeah… Tell me what you scared of… You know I feel it too. Ooh… I wish you would… [Verse 1] You been actin’ like you don’t see me, But your eyes tell a different story. Every time that you get near me, Girl, your body keeps talkin’ for you. I know somebody hurt you before, That’s why you keep one hand on the door. But I ain’t tryna play with your heart, I’m tryna give you what you been missin’. Late nights, no lies, Just you on my side. No games, no pride, You don’t gotta hide. [Pre-Chorus] If you want me, say you want me, Don’t make me read your mind. If you’re fallin’, girl, keep fallin’, I’ll catch you every time. [CHORUS — MAIN HOOK] I wish you would, Love me like you know you could. Pull up on me like you should, Stay all night—I wish you would. I wish you would, Stop pretendin’ we ain’t good. If I could love you like I could… Baby, I wish you would. *(Background vocals: “Wish you would… wish you would…”) [Verse 2] Two a.m., your name on my screen, Three little dots got me waitin’. You type “I miss you,” then delete it, Girl, why you keep hesitatin’? You know my favorite place is Anywhere your body takes me. And when the whole world gets crazy, Come lay your worries beside me. No pressure, No questions. Just give me your affection. Your heart’s been through enough, Let me show you a different direction. [Pre-Chorus] If you want me, say you want me, Don’t make me read your mind. If you’re fallin’, girl, keep fallin’, I’ll catch you every time. [CHORUS] I wish you would, Love me like you know you could. Pull up on me like you should, Stay all night—I wish you would. I wish you would, Stop pretendin’ we ain’t good. If I could love you like I could… Baby, I wish you would. [Bridge — Beat Drops Out] What if tonight We quit wastin’ time? What if your heart Was already mine? What if I kissed you And changed your whole life? Would you run away… Or stay tonight? (Beat slams back in) [FINAL CHORUS] I WISH YOU WOULD, Love me like you know you could. Pull up on me like you should, Stay forever—I wish you would. I wish you would, Give me everything you could. Girl, I’d love you like I should… Baby, I wish you would. (Choir-style background vocals) Wish you would… Wish you would… Baby, I wish you would… [Outro] You ain’t gotta say forever… Just don’t say goodbye. (whispered) I wish you would…
