Brian McKnight
On the Down Low (Live)
[Spoken Intro]
I got my first record deal when I was 19
And um, I moved to California
But all I knew before that was church
So, it was one night on Sunset Boulevard
A little place called Carlos and Charlie's way back in the day
I found myself at—you know what I'm talking about
See, I was looking for a Bible study
I don't know how I ended up at this spot
But I had to go to the restroom
I went in there, when I went inside, there was a young man and a young lady in there, and they were in the stall, and they were...
Look, I grew up real fast
But that tells you about how my life sort of took a turn
And I wanna tell you about one story in particular
And it goes a little like this right here, said

[Verse 1]
Maxine was 5-foot-9
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, she said that
[Chorus]
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, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low
Oh oh, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low

[Verse 2]
She said 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 hundred-and-three
She turned and said to me

[Chorus]
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, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low
Oh oh, oh oh oh, Corey on the solo, solo, solo
[Corey Irvin keyboard solo]

Ladies and gentlemen, that's Corey Irvin on the keyboards
Let's swing, let's swing one time

[Outro]
Oh oh, oh oh oh, keep it on the down low
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh
Oh oh, oh oh oh

So hopefully that gives you a little bit of insight into Brian
