I want to be seduced


I wanna be seduced,
Let a woman talk to me suggestively;
Wanna know that she'd like me to be with her tomorrow morning
Drinkin' hot jasmine tea.
I want her to make me laugh (ha ha ha),
Make a point about touching me when she talks (uhhmm ho ho hmm),
Leaving all the jealous guys in the place to
mumble in their wine and gawk.
I know it only happens when I'm napping,
Nodding in a reverie,
That I find myself a woman that understands about seducing me.

I know it only happens when I'm napping,
Nodding in a reverie,
That I find myself a woman who understands about seducing,
I'll dream about the moon until she'll introduce herself,
I'm imagining a woman who understands seducing me.

I want to be seduced, I want a woman to take me out to dinner for two
I want to see her eyes gettin' moody,
Flirtin' with the thought of what flirtin' can lead to
I want to act real cool, have her think about gettin' little me in bed
Have a chat about Magna Charta, or Puerto Vallarta, or somethin' Gandhi said

I might demur politely, falter slightly, if she starts to fondle my knee,
But I'm relatively certain I'd compromise if I know me

I want to be seduced, I want a wom-an to talk to me suggestively
I want to hear her say she'll be with me tomorrow morning,
Drinking hot jasmine tea

I want her to make me laugh, make a point of touching me when she talks
Leaving all the jealous guys in the joint to mumble in their beer and gawk

I wanna be seduced,
I wanna a woman to take me out to dinner for two;
I'd like to see her eyes get moony
Flirting with the thought of what a little flirting outta to do.
I'd like to be real cool
Let her figure out what I really mean, instead
of havin' a chat about African genesis, psychokinesis
or something Stanislavsky said.

I might demure politely,
Or falter slightly
If she tries to fondle my knee,
But I'm relatively certain that I'd come across if I know me.

I know it only happens, when I'm napping, nodding in my reverie
That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing me
I know it only happens, when I'm napping, nodding in my reverie
That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing
Starting from the moment that we'd been introduced
That I ever find a woman who wouldn't mind seducing me

Thank you because you correct this lyrics

Biografia

Leon Redbone, pseudonimo di Dickran Gobalian (1949-2023), è stato un cantautore e musicista statunitense di origini anglo-cipriote. Noto per il suo stile musicale unico che fonde elementi di blues, jazz, folk e musica popolare americana degli anni '20 e '30, Redbone ha conquistato la critica e il pubblico con la sua voce profonda e rauca, le sue performance teatrali e i suoi testi poetici. Nato a Brooklyn, New York, Redbone iniziò la sua carriera musicale negli anni '70, esibendosi in locali di New York City e pubblicando il suo album di debutto, "Leon Redbone", nel 1975. Il suo successo arrivò con l'album del 1978 "Tiger on the Banjo", che includeva il singolo "Yo Ho (A Pirate's Life for Me)", una versione folk-jazz della canzone dei pirati di Disney. Redbone ha collaborato con artisti come Paul Simon e David Byrne, e ha partecipato a numerosi programmi televisivi, tra cui Saturday Night Live e The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson. La sua musica è stata utilizzata in film e serie TV, contribuendo a diffondere la sua popolarità. Redbone si è ritirato dalla vita pubblica nel 2015, ma il suo lavoro continua ad essere apprezzato da un pubblico di appassionati di musica folk e jazz.
