Baba Brinkman - Mellow Drama lyrics

She approached me after a show She said she liked what I did, and she wanted to know If we could meet for a drink to discuss some things But she wasn't blushing; she just straight-up asked it She said she was an actress and wanted to talk tactics And gave me her number and her email address See, a man on a stage is a female magnet So I couldn't say what she was after, but she was attractive So I figured either way I'll be happy with what happens I'm no slave to my pa**ions, so I'm okay with abstinence I just try to stay awake and wait for chain reactions And the next day by accident I read a review With her name in it, so I knew what she said was true She had a central role in one of the best shows At the festival, and they said she was a pro And her method was so impressive they gave her five stars This left my interest quite enlarged So a few days later I phoned her, trying hard Not to sound too eager, and I succeeded, by and large ‘Cause we made a date to meet the next day at a quiet bar She just gave me my first taste of h**n I wanna go there again tell me where and when I don't care if you call me an addict I still gots to have it This feeling is dramatic She just gave me my first taste of h**n I wanna go there again tell me where and when I don't care if you call me an addict It's tragic but I still gots to have it We met in the afternoon and had a gla** or two And chatted about rap music and actors we knew She had a nice attitude and some pa**ionate views A good sense of humour and a s**y laugh too Basically, everything that I'm attracted to But after a few drinks I guess our time had come ‘Cause I had to run and meet somebody, plus I was drunk So we agreed to meet later that same night at one And after a dinner party I came back into town And we exchanged some text messages until I tracked her down At the festival grounds, and we danced around And had a laugh; ain't no denying the attraction now But at the height of the evening, she said her ride was leaving Conflicting all the messages that I was receiving Inside I was grieving, but I said, “Okay It's the end of the day; better make your getaway” I could have offered her a nice place to stay ‘Cause my place was only five minutes away But I didn't; what can I say? I headed home But before I got to the door, she called my phone And said “I just sent my ride off alone You got a place I can go now?” Huh? No doubt! We stayed up late with deep conversation And later got naked and made some good vibrations Like the tectonic plates was shakin' And we both fell asleep while the day was breakin' She left a few hours later; we kissed pa**ionately On the doorstep, then I went back to sleep She just gave me my first taste of h**n I wanna go there again tell me where and when I don't care if you call me an addict I still gots to have it This feeling is dramatic She just gave me my first taste of h**n I wanna go there again tell me where and when I don't care if you call me an addict It's tragic but I still gots to have it Three days later we still hadn't followed up Festival times are always kinda nuts Performing shows everyday, plus she was in a play And commitments just kept getting in the way And it was takin' a toll; I couldn't get her on the phone So I thought, I'll just go and get a ticket to watch her show I sat in the back row, and imagined the pa**ionate Romance we could have if we just had a chance To grow, and that's when the play began The character she played met a nice man And they laughed and danced and had a one night stand And the drama was all about the aftermath And whether or not their romance would ever have a chance To grow, and I just sat with my mouth open And listened as every word that was still unspoken Between us unfolded on stage in the play In a way that was deeper than anything I could say And every now and then she would glance my way And her expression would change, like she was trippin' the same And then the show ended, and the curtains came down And I waited around until the rest of the crowd Had exited out, and I found her backstage And she gave me a sympathetic, mischievous smile And before I could even get a single sentence out She said, “My boyfriend is comin' into town And I'm not really interested in messin' around No disrespect, I've just been stressed out And you and I are gonna be just friends now” And that was the end of the scene we played I guess I could appreciate her need for space But it just seemed strange, like we'd been on stage Since the minute I'd first seen her face She just gave me my first taste of h**n I wanna go there again tell me where and when I don't care if you call me an addict I still gots to have it This feeling is dramatic She just gave me my first taste of h**n I wanna go there again tell me where and when I don't care if you call me an addict It's tragic but I still gots to have it
