Analysis of Brother Watch Your Back(The Next Man)



It's your turn to ask the question, time for you to lead this session
I'm yours love so instruct me I'll dim the light
I promise to take my time just like I've written these lines
& what he won't do I'll be sure to do right

I've lit scented candles finally we're all alone, we've locked all
The doors we've turned off all our phones don't worry there's
Nothing left to distract.
We'll just start this off simple, there's that smile with that
Dimple, I'll just rub warm oil down your back

Now I'm here on bending knees, I don't mind I'm here to please
It's ok, it's all right it'll be fine.
We can do whatever's clever because I'm yours on this endeavor
And when I'm done he'll know your all mine.

You can have me anytime, anyplace you know how & whatever he
Won't do I'll do right here right now.

Now I'm sure there are those who'll say I've stepped on some toes
Because I'm here in what once was you spot.
So when she speaks pay attention, what she says you better listen
Or I'll be there the next time you're not
