Lyrics

Intro — whispered / tape loop

Sugar on my lips

Smoke in the air

Moonlight on my skin

You know I'm there

Verse 1

Midnight calling from the other side

Barefoot dancing where the shadows hide

Gold on my neck, but my eyes stay cold

Got a little secret that I never told

Slow wine, baby, don't rush me

One touch and you might lose sleep

Mi seh, "Come closer," then I disappear

You chase my shadow, but I'm never there

Pre-Chorus

I got sugar in my bloodstream

Got a little sin in my heartbeat

When the bass drops, lights go low

Tell me, baby, do you wanna know?

Chorus

Sugar and sin

Let me pull you in

Sweet like honey, dangerous within

Wine to the left, wine to the right

We keep dancing till we lose the night

Sugar and sin

Here we go again

Mi seh, "Easy, easy," but you dive right in

Sweet little smile with a wicked grin

You don't know where the night will end

Verse 2

Red moon hanging over Kingston skies

Black silk moving like a slow disguise

Drum talk calling from deep underground

Every little heartbeat shaking the ground

No rules when the rhythm takes control

Bassline crawling straight into your soul

Mi seh, "Hold tight," when the riddim gets wild

One little look and you're gone for a while

Pre-Chorus

I got sugar in my bloodstream

Got a little sin in my heartbeat

When the bass drops, lights go low

Tell me, baby, do you wanna know?

Chorus

Sugar and sin

Let me pull you in

Sweet like honey, dangerous within

Wine to the left, wine to the right

We keep dancing till we lose the night

Sugar and sin

Here we go again

Mi seh, "Easy, easy," but you dive right in

Sweet little smile with a wicked grin

You don't know where the night will end

Bridge — stripped / haunting vocal

Hush now...

Don't say my name

The moon knows me

The fire knows my flame

One step closer

Two steps gone

By the time you wake up

I'll be moving on

Dancehall Break

Wine it slow

Wine it low

Feel that rhythm in your bones

Wine it slow

Don't let go

Mi deh yah till the morning glow

Final Chorus — bigger / layered vocals

Sugar and sin

Let me pull you in

Sweet like honey, dangerous within

Wine to the left, wine to the right

We keep dancing till we lose the night

Sugar and sin

Here we go again

Mi seh, "Easy, easy," but you dive right in

Sweet little smile with a wicked grin

You don't know where the night will end

Outro — tape loop / fading whisper

Sugar...

Sin...

Come a little closer...

Then disappear.
