On The Down Low Lyrics By Brian Mcknight

    maxine was 5foot9
    had a man and she didn’t mind
    walked up to me nice and slow
    what she wanted i did not know
    gave me her pager number
    and said call her anytime
    then she whispered in my ear
    she said

    my body wants you so
    for what i miss at home
    nobody has to know
    keep it on the down low
    she said
    my body wants you so
    for what i miss at home
    nobody has to know
    keep it on the down low
    oh oh oh oh oh keep it on the down low
    oh oh oh oh oh keep it on the down low

    she says that he
    doesn’t take her anywhere
    used to say sweet things
    acts like he doesn’t even care
    deprived of all the things
    she misses wants wishes and needs
    got hotter than a hundredandthree
    she turned and said to me

    my body wants you so
    for what i miss at home
    nobody has to know
    keep it on the down low
    my body wants you so
    for what i miss at home
    nobody has to know
    keep it on the down low
    keep it on the down low
    my body wants you so
    for what i miss at home
    nobody has to know
    keep it on the down low oh oh
    my body wants you so
    for what i miss at home
    nobody has to know
    keep it on the down low
    oh oh oh oh oh keep it on the down low
    oh oh oh oh oh keep it on the down low

    i wouldn’t treat you that way
    if you were my lady
    i wouldn’t share you
    you’d be mine and mine alone oh yeah
    if he continues wastin’ your time
    girl he’s crazy
    i’ll take her
    try to hang on max

    maxine looked into my eyes
    wanted me to be the other guy
    ’cause tonight she’s needin’ someone to hold
    lonely nights can be oh so cold
    he thinks that she’s content
    ’cause he bought her car and pays her rent
    but she’s not ready to leave
    she turned and said to me

    my body wants you so
    for what i miss at home
    nobody has to know
    keep it on the down low oh
    my body wants you so
    for what i miss at home
    nobody has to know
    keep it on the down low oh
    my body wants you so
    for what i miss at home
    nobody has to know
    keep it on the down low oh oh
    my body wants you so
    for what i miss at home
    nobody has to know
    keep it on the down low
    oh oh oh oh oh keep it on the down low
    oh oh oh oh oh keep it on the down low
    oh oh oh oh oh keep it on the down low
    oh oh oh oh oh keep it on the down low
