The scent of a woman is a powerful thing. It can resurface memories in an instant and mentally place you directly back into the scene. There's a strong hint of mystery in this song. Not having a name to hold onto from an intimate relationship adds magnetism. Healthy? Probably not, but who can say they're healthy 24/7?
lyrics
PHEROMONES
CHORUS
I gotta thang for you, young lady
don't know your name, so I'll just call you baby
and lately, I can't seem to control the craving
the pheromones you put off got me goin' crazy
baby...lady...save me, you got me goin' crazy
baby...lady...save me, you got me goin' crazy
VERSE I
you refused to tell me your name, but I remember your scent
still smell your perfume in every room of my crib
a territorial thing - every time you came through
you'd hide a piece of clothing somewhere in my bedroom
when I'd ask, you'd act like it was an accident
as soon as that lie would escape those lips
you'd grab the back of my head, press my face to your skin
and then...the dishonesty I'm forced to forget
PRE-CHORUS
inhale and hold in, your aroma is thick
if obsession's a sin, then I'm bowing my chin
broke down all my walls, my concentration is gone
I know that this is wrong and I should say hold on
CHORUS
VERSE II
and I seem to recall, you liked that I wouldn't call
randomly show up in nothing, but your panties and bra
in the moment, I really didn't think about it much
when the intensity escalates, it gets pretty rough
fluent in your body language, I always play along
let you overpower me, make you think you're stronger
role playin' like I'm helpless, so you could be selfish
ain't worried 'bout bein' emotionally reckless
PRE-CHORUS
those couple of weeks that you didn't stop through
didn't wash my sheets or the towel you used
I need to savor the flavor of your fragrance
take your scent and save it, wrap it around me like a blanket
CHORUS
