[Intro]
[electric bass enters with melodic fill]
[clean electric guitar stabs]
(Ooh, ooh)

[Verse 1]
[soulful male vocals, chest voice]
I'ma lay you down, baby
Take your clothes off
I'll make love to you
In all the ways you want
But one thing I won't do [bass slide]
Is take off my turtleneck
My turtleneck [falsetto]
My turtleneck
My turtleneck [vocal runs]
My turtleneck

[Chorus]
[layered backing harmonies enter]
Please stop asking me to take off my turtleneck
Baby, I'm butt-naked from the waist down
Baby, loving you is my favorite habit
Kiss my neck through this fabric
'Cause all I want to do is make love to you
In my turtleneck
In this motherfucking cashmere turtleneck
[vocal ad-libs] (Mmm, the way this turtle)
Gripping my neck, squeezing me, choking me
I'm dripping turtleneck sweat, it's hot
But I'm not taking this T-N-R off
I won't stop until you get off

[Outro]
[dramatic string swells]
I'ma lay you down, baby (Baby)
Take your clothes off
I'll make love to you
In all the ways you want
But one thing I won't do
Is take off my turtleneck
My turtleneck
My turtleneck
My turtleneck
[music swells then fades]
Stop asking, stop asking
Stop asking me to take off my turtleneck
Stop asking, I won't do it, I won't do it
Stop asking me to take off my turtleneck
I won't do it, I won't do it
My turtleneck
My turtleneck
