She's art dealer chic
Would you be my friend, my freak?
Uh, she's art dealer chic (Yeah)
Would you be my friend, my freak?

[Verse 1]
These lips (Would you be my f—)
Can't wait to taste your skin (My friend, my freak)
Baby, no, oh, no (Would you be my friend, my freak?)
And these eyes, yeah
I can't wait to see your grin (Art dealer chic)
Ooh, ooh, baby

[Chorus 1]
Just let my love
Just let my love adorn you (Art dealer chic)
Please, baby (Would you be my friend, my freak?)
Yeah, you gotta know, you gotta know
You know that I adore you (Art dealer chic)
Yeah, baby (Would you be my friend, my freak?)

[Verse 2]
Baby these fists (Art dealer chic)
Will always protect you (My friend, my freak)
Lady (Would you be my friend, my freak?)
And this mind
Will never neglect you (Art dealer chic)
Yeah baby (Would you be my), ooh, ooh
And if they try to break us down (Ooh-ooh)
Don't let that affect us
No, baby
[Chorus 2]
You just gotta let my love
Let my love, let my love adorn you (Art dealer chic)
Ahh, le-le-le-let it dress you down
You gotta know, you gotta know
Know that I adore you (Art dealer chic)
Just that, baby
Oh, let my love adorn you, baby

I'll always adore you
You gotta know now
You gotta know na-nah-now, yeah

Oh, yeah, uh
The same way that the stars adorn the skies, yeah

Now look up sugar (Every night, babe)
Now hey, hey, hey
The same way that my whole world's in your eyes (When I look in your eyes babe)
Ooh, and it's time now (And you know it's time babe)

Are you in the mood for some smooth R&B music that can heat up your nights? Then Adorn by Miguel is the perfect song for you. This hit track from his second album Kaleidoscope Dream was released in 2012 and has been captivating audiences ever since. Adorn is more than just a love song, it deals with the complexities of love and relationships and how we see ourselves and our partners. It perfectly captures the essence of desire and the human experiences that come with it.

About Adorn

Miguel’s Adorn is a sensuous and soulful track that is all about desire and love. The song is based on dreams, which Miguel believes represent unrestrained desires. He starts the song by saying “this is your subconscious speaking,” which immediately places the listener in a dreamlike state. His lyrics describe the women he sees as visions in his mind with qualities he finds attractive. He feels haunted by these images, and it is difficult for him to establish what is real.

Adorn is not a typical love song. Instead, it speaks to the complexities of love and relationships. Miguel imagines being next to the main girl, who is separate from him in reality. She is covered in a way that masks her beauty, making him feel as if he cannot have what he desires. He adorns her with a beautiful expression of love, and she is uncovered.

This essence of desire and beauty is not only reflected in the lyrics but the sonics as well. Adorn’s slow groove and sexy melodies fall in line with countless love-making R&B classics. The beat and the music's rhythm transport the listener to a dreamlike state, making the song a perfect match for a seductive night.

Interestingly, when Genius asked Miguel if he’s ever made love to this song when they sat with him for an annotation session, he denied it. “I have never made love to Adorn,” he said. “I leave my own music out of the bedroom.”

Adorn has been widely recognized for its unique sound, lyrics, and style. The song won the Grammy Award for Best R&B Song in 2013 and was also nominated for Song of the Year. Its unique blend of soulful melodies, introspective lyrics, and modern beats have made it an instant classic and a go-to for lovers everywhere.

In short, Adorn is a song of beauty, desire, and love that perfectly captures the essence of human emotions. Its dream-like lyrics, beautiful vocals, and elegant sonics come together to create a truly unique and captivating song that will leave you entranced.
