Verse 1
I know what you want when you bring me breakfast in bed
Coffee just right, hair still messed up on your head
You’re extra sweet, sayin’ “take your time”
But I can already read between those lines
Verse 2
I know what you want when you’re slippin’ on your boots
Sayin’ “the boys called, it won’t be long,” swearin’ it’s true
You kiss my cheek like you’re askin’ me please
Already halfway out the door with those keys
Chorus
Yeah, I know what you want
I know, I know
You don’t think I notice
But baby, I do though
You can try to be smooth
Try to act all innocent
I just smile and shake my head
At your ulterior motives
Verse 3
I know what you want when you come into the kitchen
Offer to help me with the dishes, outta nowhere listen
You lean in close, whisper soft in my ear
Sayin’ “has anyone told you you look real good right here?”
Verse 4
Those gentle kisses, slow and tender
Actin’ like you ain’t got an agenda
But I’ve been around you long enough
To know when sweet’s just turnin’ on the charm stuff
Chorus
Yeah, I know what you want
I know, I know
You don’t think I notice
But baby, I do though
You can try to be smooth
Try to act all innocent
I just smile and shake my head
At your ulterior motives
Bridge
Truth is, I don’t mind at all
I kinda like the way you call
Me “baby” when you’re needin’ a favor
I see right through it, still let it happen later
Final Chorus
Yeah, I know what you want
From the start, every moment
And it ain’t that you fool me
You just think you do sometimes
Go on, lay it on thick
I won’t say I noticed
‘Cause I love you
Yeah, I love your ulterior motives
