"Sweet Talk" is about trying your best not to fall for someone even though they’re pulling you in with no hesitation.
lyrics
[Verse-1]
We’re out late, partying all night
This is the first time I’ve been out in a while
And I honestly couldn’t be happier
Look at what you make me feel
Dancing with a friend but your eyes are on me
Asking what’s the reason I’m not dancing
And to be honest, I want to be with you
Your eyes have got me captivated
[Chorus]
Sweet talk, shifting your attention my way
I try not to tilt my head and get so swayed
But I can’t help myself, I’m under your spell
Sweet talk, lick your lips over and over
My eyes are locked, life is going much slower
But I can’t help myself, I’m hooked, can’t you tell?
[Verse-2]
Everyone’s talking about their future plans
Then you ask me what I’ve got on my hands
I felt so special, that you included me
Look at what you make me feel
In the red jacket, that color is best on you
Nobody seems to work it like you do
Oh my, my, do you feel what I feel?
[Chorus]
Sweet talk, shifting your attention my way
I try not to tilt my head and get so swayed
But I can’t help myself, I’m under your spell
Sweet talk, lick your lips over and over
My eyes are locked, life is going much slower
But I can’t help myself, I’m hooked, can’t you tell?
[Refrain]
This is probably nothing
‘Cause you saw me looking lonely
I run with any given attention
And I’m so damn sorry
If I intruded and ruined what this was
But however, if it is something more
Let me know and don’t be a whore
When the others try to take you from me
[Chorus]
Sweet talk, shifting your attention my way
I try not to tilt my head and get so swayed
But I can’t help myself, I’m under your spell
Sweet talk, lick your lips over and over
My eyes are locked, life is going much slower
But I can’t help myself, I’m hooked, can’t you tell?
[Outro]
Sweet talk, continue to look me in my eyes
It turns me on and keeps me well and alive
Oh baby, I’m hooked, can’t you tell?
