(I just wanna)
[Verse 1: Labrinth (Emeli Sandé)]
You tell all the boys no
Makes you feel good, yeah
I know you're out of my league
But that won't scare me away, oh, no (I just wanna)
[Pre-Chorus: Labrinth]
You've carried on so long
You couldn't stop if you tried it (I just wanna)
You've built your wall so high
That no one could climb it
But I'm gonna try
[Chorus: Labrinth]
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, girl, take it off now, girl
I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
See beneath your beautiful tonight?
[Verse 2: Emeli Sandé]
You let all the girls go
Makes you feel good, don't it? (I just wanna)
Behind your Broadway show
I heard a boy say "please, don't hurt me"
[Pre-Chorus: Emeli Sandé]
[Chorus: Emeli Sandé]
[Verse 3: George The Poet]
If I don't make you nervous, why not?
Is it because I don't scream and shout
Every routine about what you seem to doubt that I've got?
Am I supposed to wonder why you save me a dance
And not jump the gun thinking that you gave me a chance?
Should I now deliberate that we'll be advanced?
Hoping for a dinner date and maybe a glance
At your naked soul?
Or take control
Only for you to say you ain't involved and
Leave me watching as your tail switches
See, I know you're not as strong as your sales pitches
So stop trying it
I'm not buying it
You're too perfect to be real
I don't believe you say what you personally feel
So you paralyse yourself but you choose to be impaired and I get it
You ain't used to being scared so you try breaking it off
By faking a cough, fighting to control your voice
Making it soft, but you're putting it on
Try taking it off
[Bridge: Labrinth]
Take it off now, girl
Take it off now, girl
Cause I wanna see inside
Would you let me?
[Chorus/Outro: Labrinth & Emeli Sandé]
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful?
Would you let me see beneath your perfect?
Take it off now, boy, take it off now, boy (we ain't perfect)
Cause I wanna see inside
Would you let me see beneath your beautiful tonight?
See beneath your beautiful tonight?
See beneath your beautiful tonight?
