Prohibition Exhibition

Lyrics

**[Verse 1]** You always knew how to draw a line With those talented hands of yours But when it came to keeping boundaries You were never quite as sure I used to watch you working With that focused little stare And wonder what would happen If you knew how much I cared You've got a way of looking Like you've got something on your mind And I've got an imagination That can read between the lines **[Pre-Chorus]** You can tell me all about your art I can appreciate the view But there are a couple compositions I'd rather keep between us two **[Chorus]** Welcome to my private exhibition Admission's strictly by invitation You can take your time, study every curve But don't pretend that you don't know what I deserve I've got a masterpiece of trouble And a wicked little grin You can leave your coat beside the door But better leave your ego with it You've got an artist's imagination And I've got a dangerous intention Baby, if you're gonna paint the town Start with this private exhibition **[Verse 2]** You're always running late So I won't bother checking time But if you're bringing all that charm Better bring an honest mind I remember all the laughter And the way you made me blush How a look across the room Could make the whole damn world go hush I could tease you for an hour You could swear that you're immune But I know that crooked smile And what it does to a room **[Pre-Chorus]** See, I remember every spark But I also know the cost Chemistry can light a fire It can't rebuild what we lost **[Chorus]** Welcome to my private exhibition Where I know you've got ambition You can admire the scenery But respect the woman underneath I've got a masterpiece of trouble And a heart that isn't free Just because the door looks tempting Doesn't mean you've earned a key **[Bridge — Slow, Intimate]** And I won't lie Sometimes I miss the heat The familiar kind of tension When you're standing close to me But wanting isn't trusting And desire isn't proof That the man who knows my body Knows how to protect my truth You can make me lose my focus Make me smile against my will But the part of me that loves you Needs something deeper still **[Final Chorus]** Welcome to my private exhibition Where the art deserves respect You can appreciate the woman But don't you dare forget There's a heart behind the picture There's a story in the frame And if you're coming back to see me You better come prepared to stay **[Outro — Playful Whisper]** Now, Mr. Tattoo Artist Don't get too proud of that grin I've seen your finest work, baby And I know exactly where you've been.
