Bruno Mars, Anderson .Paak, Silk Sonic – Leave the Door Open [Official Video]

The official music video for Bruno Mars, Anderson.Paak, Silk Sonic’s new single “Leave the Door Open”

This dynamic pairing was inevitable. Dreamed up by the studio minds-or personnel of each respective funk/soul mastermind. Such an excellent pairing is divinely imagined prior to implementation in the 3D realm. Nice to see Anderson .Paak in his drum kit power seat and Bruno on the keys. Retro Funk, yes. 70s style modules, yes but like Lenny Kravitz before them they elevate the form to now. Enjoy as I did the effervescent groove.

Lyrics:
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 rip)

I look too good
(look too good)

To be alone
(wooohooo)

My house clean
(house clean)

My pool warm
(pool warm)

Just shaved
(smooth like a new born)

We should be dancing, romancing
In the east wing and the west wing
Of this mansion, wus happenin

I aint playin no games
Every word that I say
Is coming straight from the heart
(so if you tryna lay in these arms)

Imma leave the door open
(imma leave the door open)
Imma leave the open girl
(Imma 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)

You’re so sweet
(so sweet)

So tight
(so tight)

I won’t bite
(ahh ahh)

Unless you like
(unless you like)

If you smoke
(what you smoke)

I got that haze
(purple haze)

And if you’re hungry girl I got filets
(woohooo)

Ooh baby don’t keep me waiting
There’s so much love we could be making
I’m talking kissing, Cuddling
Rose pedals in the bathtub
Lets jump in, Its bubblin

I aint playin no games
Every word that I say
Is coming straight from the heart
(so if you tryna lay in these arms)

Imma leave the door open
(imma leave the door open)
Imma leave the open girl
(Imma 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)

La la laaa la la la la la
(I need you baby)

La la laaa la la la la
(I gotta see you baby)

La la laaa la la la la
(Girl I’m tryna give you this)
(aaaaahhhhhhhhhh)

Imma leave the door open
(imma leave the door open)
Imma leave the open girl
(Imma 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)

This wireless Bluetooth model from OnePlus delivers very good sound quality and active noise reduction, combining elements of in-ear and earbud earphones. These earphones have an isolating design and an ambient sound monitoring feature; they will provide some muffling and electronic canceling of external noises and reduce the amount of sound that escapes from the earpieces. As such, they are best for those who want highly portable earphones that reduce the noise they hear from their surroundings or don’t want the sound from the earpieces to disturb others.
