Finesse Lyrics
Ooh, don't we look good
Together? (Together, together)
There's a reason why they watch all night
Long (All night long, woo!)
Yeah, I know we'll turn heads
Forever (Forever, forever)
So tonight, I'm gonna show
You off
[Pre-Chorus]
When I walk in witchu (When I walk in witchu)
I watch the whole room change (I watch the whole room change)
Baby, that's what you do (Baby, that's what you do)
No, my baby don't play (No)
Blame it on my confidence
Or blame it on your measurements
Shut the shit down on sight
That's right
[Chorus]
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it
Now slow it down
For me, baby (Slow it down, girl)
'Cause I love the way it feels
When we grind (When we grind,) yeah-eah
Our connection's so
Magnetic on the floor
Nothing can stop us tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
When I walk in witchu (When I walk in witchu)
I watch the whole room change (I watch the whole room change)
Baby, that's what you do (Baby, that's what you do)
No, my baby don't play (No)
Blame it on my confidence
Or blame it on your measurements
Shut the shit down on sight
That's right
[Chorus]
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it (Woo!)
Fellas, grab your ladies if
Your lady fine
Tell her she the one
She the one for life
Ladies, grab your fellas, and
Let's do this right (Do this right)
If you're on one like me in mind
(Woo!)
[Refrain]
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
Don't it feel so good to be us? Ayy
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
Girl, we got it goin' on
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on (He-hey)
Don't it feel so good to be us, ayy? (It feels so good with)
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on (You)
[Chorus]
We out here drippin' in finesse
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know
We out here drippin' in finesse with my baby
It don't make no sense
Out here drippin' in finesse
You know it, you know it (Girl, you know we got it goin' on)
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
Don't it feel so good to be us? Ayy
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on
(You know it, you know it)
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on (Ooh, girl, we got it)
Don't it feel so good to be us? Ayy (Baby)
Yeah, we got it goin' on, got it goin' on (Woo!)
(You know it, you know it)
About
“Finesse” is the 8th song on Bruno Mars' album 24K Magic.
Bruno Mars first talked about the song in an interview with Rolling Stone saying that:
The next day, Mars is back in the studio to fix some of the mistakes he heard last night. First on the agenda is a song called “Finesse.” “There’s just some things fucking the groove up,” he says. “Anytime you see us, on tour, on TV, I want to be moving … I was very conscious on this album of the bounce.”
Mars opens his laptop and pulls up the latest version – the 20th or so, he guesses. He threw out one where he sang about gold chains and cognac over a silky beat (too corny), and another for sounding too much “like a Seventies cop show – like I should be on roller skates.” This version he’s finally happy with; he just needs to fix the bridge. There’s something bugging him about the harmonies, or maybe the chord progression. “I don’t know what’s not hitting home. There’s just something weird that I ain’t fucking with yet.” He jabs at his Korg keyboard in frustration. “I just have to open it up.”
The opening drum pattern of “Finesse” takes direct inspiration from the intro to Bell Biv Devoe’s 1990 new jack swing classic “Poison.”
A remix of this song was released On January 4th 2018, featuring Cardi B.
