[Verse 1]
I watch you while you dress, it's a quarter to one
I’m running out of moves, so I keep it undone
You like me in a mess 'cause I always come back to you
You cast me in your thriller just to cut the scene out
Sowing all the seeds, just to bring me a drought
You wanna wash me off, but you want me as your tattoo

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I’ve been holding it down, holding it down
Waiting for the blood to rise
And you've been keeping me 'round, keeping me 'round
Just so you can fantasize

[Chorus]
That you're doing nothing wrong 'cause you give me just enough
Waiting for another one you don't have to love
You hold me so tight, say it's getting too deep for you, but
How deep is too deep?

[Verse 2]
You’re sipping on my drink while you talk on the phone
I love your suit and tie and the way that you smoke
I stumble in your dreams, but I know you don’t want me to
No, no

[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I’ve been holding it down, holding it down
Waiting for the blood to rise
And you've been keeping me 'round, keeping me 'round
Just so you can fantasize

[Chorus]
That you’re doing nothing wrong 'cause you're doing just enough
Waiting for another one you don't have to love
You hold me so tight, say it's getting too deep for you, but
How deep is too deep?
Think you're doing something right 'cause you give me just enough
Waiting for another one you only have to touch
You hold me so tight, say it's getting too deep for you, but
How deep is too deep?

[Bridge]
Oh, I could do better, baby, let's be honest
It's ironic, I know
I can find something deeper baby, but
How deep is too deep?
(Ooh, how deep is too deep?)
(Ooh) How deep is too deep?

[Chorus]
Doing nothing wrong 'cause you're doing just enough
Waiting for another one you don't have to love
You hold me so tight, say it's getting too deep for you, but
How deep is too deep?
Think you're doing something right 'cause you give me just enough
Waiting for another one you only have to touch
You hold me so tight, say it's getting too deep for you, but
How deep is too deep?
How deep is too deep?

[Outro]
How deep is too deep?
