Shine On

[Hook: Nikki Jean (x2)]

Don't pay me no mind, baby

Shine shine shine

Don't pay me no mind, sugar

Shine shine shine

[Verse 1]

I had seen you when the hosted seated you

In a station of mine still I'm taking my time

Made sure the moment got seized, made up my mind

Through a napkin over my sleeve, straightened my tie

Mind if I behold you through the fold of your menu

Couture, all up against you, oh lord

How could I convince you? I just met you

And I'm instantly listening to your instrumental

Poor me, I poured water inside your glass

For a brief moment our eyes had kind of met

I confess, I felt that inside my chest

Almost made quite a mess yet I digress

I would guess you're meeting a date here

I offer, she order hors d'oeuvres while she wait here

She brushed her bangs to clear off her face, yeah

Parted her lips and turned crab cakes to Shakespeare

[Hook: Nikki Jean (x2)]

Don't pay me no mind, baby

Shine shine shine

Don't pay me no mind, sugar

Shine shine shine

[Verse 2]

The way the lady bait a trap, I'm afraid to ask

My imagination act, I run away with that

Run away with me, I swear I'm not a maniac

I'll give you that pretty diamond ring and last name to match

I ain't saying that, I practiced waiting in the back

I know I better make it fast before her date get back

Yeah, I place her order, grabbed the plate, relaxed

Here, let me fix my face get my game in tact

Fear, I chased the clock as I can't make it stop

I played the waiter job, made it to the table top

Time to play your cards, ace got to take your shot

Before I could speak he showed up to devastate the plot

Her real server showed up, my plan fell through

"Sir, are y'all together? Ma'am, can I help you?"

She looking puzzled, I stand without words

I'm sorry, I don't really work here - awkward

[Hook: Nikki Jean (x2)]

Don't pay me no mind, baby

Shine shine shine

Don't pay me no mind, sugar

Shine shine shine

[Verse 3]

Let me explain, you see I ain't much for wait and see

So when I seen you take a seat I played maitre d'

She replied angrily, "Mister, I can't believe

You'd stand your grown ass in this place and play games with me

Crazy freak, wait, how did you get all that food?"

I ordered from the table around the corner and brought it to you

Can't say I thought it through, ma'am it's all sort of new

But when I saw you I sort of knew I had to talk to you

And nothing in my arsenal seemed possible

So I called an audible Serve you? I'm honoured to

I didn't mean to bother you, I just want to watch a few

Moments of your life much like a fly on a wall would do

Never mind me, the light from your unusually bright shine blinded me

So that was all I could see, I understand if you don't want to talk to me

I'll just leave, pardon me, I'll just take this little broken heart and leave

"Wait, that was a stupid thing to do

But my date didn't show up and my table's set for two"

I pulled on my coat like, aw look at you

That's all I really wanted ma'am enjoy your afternoon

I'm through
