Don't have us lock this groove down for nothin' (get down)
Oh, oh

Bootzilla himself
Fellas, I hope you got somethin' in your cup
And ladies? Don't be afraid
To make your way to the stage
For a band that I named
Silk Sonic

Leave the Door Open
Say baby, say baby, say baby
What you doin'? (What you doin'?)
Where you at? (Where you at?)
Oh, you got plans? (You got plans?)
Don't say that (shut yo' trap)
I'm sippin' wine (sip, sip)
In a robe (drip, drip)
I look too good (look too good)
To be alone (woo-hoo)
My house clean (house clean)
My pool warm (pool warm)
Just shaved (smooth like a newborn)
We should be dancing, romancing, in the east wing
And the west wing of this mansion, what's happenin'?
I ain't playin' no games
Every word that I say
Is coming straight from the heart
So if you tryna lay in these arms
I'ma leave the door open
(I'ma leave the door open)
I'ma leave the door open, girl
(I'ma leave the door open, hopin')
That you feel the way I feel
And you want me like I want you tonight, baby
Tell me that you're coming through
Ooh, you're so sweet (so sweet)
So tight (so tight)
I won't bite (uh-uh)
Unless you like (unless you like)
If you smoke (what you smoke?)
I got the haze (purple haze)
And if you're hungry, girl, I got filets (woo-hoo)
Ooh, baby, don't keep me (waiting)
There's so much love we could be making (shamone)
I'm talking kissing
Cuddling
Rose petals in the bathtub, girl, let's jump in
It's bubblin'
I ain't playin' no games
Every word that I say
Is coming straight from the heart
So if you're tryna lay in these arms
I'ma leave the door open
(I'ma leave the door open)
I'ma leave the door open, girl, mmm
(I'ma leave the door open, hopin')
That you feel the way I feel

Fly As Me
One, two, make you wanna, uh
Yeah, yeah
Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay
Now have you ever been with a player?
Take you downtown where they treat me like the mayor
Take you to the crib, we can take it upstairs (what's upstairs?)
Shit, I'ma show you later
Don't need a spatula, everything catered
Extra flavor, go 'head
Sprinkle some truffle on your mashed potatoes
I'm tryna love, is you gon' love me back?
You only get what you give, ain't you heard of that?
Look here
I don't ask for much
You know what I want
I just want what's fair (huh)
I'll bring that fire and desire, baby
All you gotta do is meet me halfway there, uh
I deserve to be
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
And you deserve to be seen
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
Oh, don't let 'em trick you with the jibb talk (ow)
Uh, okay, now Silk Sonic smooth like a mack
Float like a butterfly on every single track
And the only language that I speak, girl, is facts
So once I give this game to you, I can't take it back
Hollerin' at you from a 1977 Monte Carlo
Hard act to follow, it's showtime
Tryna boo you up like it's the Apollo
Your walk is viscous, let's get down to business
You and me together, woo, that's somethin' different
Ooh, come on
I don't ask for much
I really don't, girl
I just want what's fair
Ha, look here
I'll bring that fire and desire, baby
All you gotta do is this
All you gotta do is meet me halfway there (uh)
I deserve to be
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
And you deserve to be seen
With somebody as fly as me
Somebody this fly
Nah, for real, I'ma need y'all to understand
Let's get it
If you don't know what we talkin' 'bout
I'ma have the whole band help me spell it out
Yeah, if you don't know what we talkin' 'bout
Class in session, here's your lesson, help me spell it out
F (F), L (L), Y (Y)

It's like we back in school again

After Last Night
Mmh
Damn, I don't even know who I was last night
It's just somethin' about you
You just make me feel, mmh
Was it good for you?
Ooh, baby
Now I don't know what you did when you did what you did
But you did it, girl

Wishin' on a shootin' star, say a prayer for me
I hope it comes true, ooh-woo-woo-woo (ah, yeah)

Smokin Out The Window
Wait a minute, this love started off so tender, so sweet
But now she got me smokin' out the window
Mh, mh, mh
Must've spent thirty five
Forty five thousand up in Tiffany's (oh, no)
Got her badass kids runnin' 'round my whole crib
Like it's Chuck E. Cheese (whoa, whoa)
Put me in a jam with her ex-man in the UFC
Can't believe it (can't believe it)
I'm in disbelief
This bitch got me payin' her rent, payin' for trips
Diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrist
And here I am all alone (all alone), uh
I'm so cold, I'm so cold
You got me out here
Smokin' out the window (smokin' out the window)
Singin', "How could she do this to me?"
(How could she do this to me?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (mmh)
But I was wrong
'Cause she belong to everybody, everybody, ooh
Just the other night she was grippin' on me tight
Screamin', "Hercules" (Hercules, Hercules)
Got me in the club lookin' for a new love
Someone help me please (help me please, help me please)
Baby, why you doin' this? Why you doin' this to me, girl?
Not to sound dramatic, but I wanna die
This bitch got me payin' her rent, payin' for trips
Diamonds on her neck, diamonds on her wrist
And here I am all alone (all alone)
I'm so cold, I'm so cold
You got me out here
Smokin' out the window
(Smokin' out the window of the Benzo, the Benzo)
Singin', "How could she do this to me?" (How? How could she do this?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (one thing's fasho)
(One thing's fasho)
But I was wrong (I was wrong)
'Cause she belong (she belong)
To everybody, everybody (yeah, she belong to everybody)
That girl there, she belong to everybody, ooh
(Oh, no)
Look here, baby, I hope you found whatever it is that you need
But I also hope
That your triflin' ass is walkin' 'round barefoot in these streets
Look out
Girl, it breaks my heart that you ain't right here with me
Now I gotta give you back (gotta give you back)
To the city, oh, you got me
Smokin' out the window (hoo-ooh)
Singin', "How could she do this to me?" (How could you?)
(How could you do this, baby?)
Oh, I thought that girl belonged to only me (woo-hoo, ooh)
But I was wrong (I was wrong)
'Cause she belong (she belong)

Put On A Smile
Oh, looky here, fellas
Take it from your Uncle Bootsy
Ain't no shame beggin' in the rain
Tell her how you really feel
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, mm
I could pretend when I'm out with my friends
I ain't thinkin' about you
I could pretend like I ain't in my feelings
But that ain't true, nah

That was my ego, my pride and pain
I should be a movie star, the way I play the part
Like everything's okay
Oh, now I try to be the life of the party
All night buyin' shots for everybody
But it's all just an act (yeah)
'Cause I can't have you back (yeah)
Without you, I've been going crazy

Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
But Lord knows I'm dyin', dyin'

If I could turn back the hands on my Rollie, you know I would
I would've spent all my time makin' sure that my baby good
I'm tryin' hard to hide the shame
I know I'm playin' a dangerous game
But since you've been gone, I ain't been the same
There's only so much a man can fake
Oh, now I try to be the life of the party
All night buyin' shots for everybody
But it's all just an act (yeah)

But Lord knows I'm dyin', dyin'
Tryna put on a smile, smile (put on a smile)
Ooh, out here smilin' like a fool
(When the only thing worth smilin' for)
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for was
You (you)
You
You, you, you, you, you
You
If I could turn back the hands on my Rollie, you know I would
I would've spent all my time makin' sure that my baby good
I'm tryin' hard to hide the shame
I know I'm playin' a dangerous game
But since you've been gone, I ain't been the same
There's only so much a man can fake
Oh, now I try to be the life of the party
All night buyin' shots for everybody
But it's all just an act (yeah)
'Cause I can't have you back (yeah)
Without you, I've been going crazy
Tryna put on a smile (put on a smile)
Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
But Lord knows I'm dyin', dyin'
Tryna put on a smile (put on a smile), baby
Out here smilin' like a fool
(When the only thing worth smilin' for)
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for
(When the only thing worth smilin' for)
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for was
You
You, you
I'm tryna put on a smile (put on a smile)
Oh, whoa, whoa
Tryna fight these tears from cryin'
But Lord knows I'm dyin'
(Put on a smile) oh
I'm smilin' like a fool
(When the only thing worth smilin' for)
Baby girl, the only thing worth smilin' for
(When the only thing worth smilin' for)
Oh, the only thing worth smilin' for was
You (you)

You, you, you, you, you

An Evening with Silk Sonic is the debut studio album by the American musical superduo Silk Sonic, which is composed of the American singer-songwriter Bruno Mars and fellow singer and rapper Anderson .Paak. The album was released by Aftermath Entertainment and Atlantic Records on November 12, 2021. Silk Sonic recruited the American musician Bootsy Collins—who came up with the name for Mars's and Paak's duo—for the narration, and American record producer D'Mile to compose the album. Recording sessions took place from early 2020 to mid 2021 at Shampoo Press & Curl Studios.
Several critics said An Evening with Silk Sonic was crafted from elements of R&B, soul, funk, hip hop, and pop music. Silk Sonic were inspired to create an album on which they could capture the sound of the 1960s and 1970s. Their main goal was to bring people together and make them feel good. The lyrics explore themes—such as seduction, romance, reconciliation, and materialism—that were featured on Mars's previous albums. While .Paak's lyrics usually address contemporary matters, such as the social tensions resulting from identity, politics, self-expression, and repression, those specific issues are not addressed on this record.
An Evening with Silk Sonic debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 chart, with first-week sales of 104,000 equivalent album units and became Mars's second and .Paak's first number-one album on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart. The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). It also peaked in the top-five in Australia, Canada, and New Zealand, and produced five singles: "Leave the Door Open" and "Smokin out the Window", which were commercially successful, "Skate", which charted moderately, and "Love's Train" and "After Last Night", which both had minor commercial success. "Leave the Door Open" reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Mars's eighth and .Paak's first number-one song in the United States, as well as reaching number one in Israel, Malaysia, and New Zealand.
An Evening with Silk Sonic received universal acclaim from music critics. It is the most acclaimed studio album of Mars's career and .Paak's second most—after Malibu—per Metacritic. Reviewers praised the collaborative album's retro sensibility and the chemistry between Mars and .Paak. At the 2022 Grammy Awards, "Leave the Door Open" won four Grammy Awards, including Record of the Year, Song of the Year, Best R&B Performance, and Best R&B Song. Several publications listed the album as one of the best records of the year, and Billboard named it the seventh-best album of 2021. The album was also promoted via An Evening with Silk Sonic at Park MGM (2022), along with a number of performances at various award shows.
