“Make It Look Good” is a song written by Mariah, Jermaine Dupri and Bryan-Michael Cox from Mariah's 2014 album Me. I Am Mariah… The Elusive Chanteuse. The song features a special appearance by Mariah's idol Stevie Wonder, playing the harmonica. “A musical moment I will always treasure was an ad-lib [Stevie Wonder] did on my song ‘Make It Look Good,’ ” Mariah wrote on her memoir, The Meaning Of Mariah Carey. “He sings or plays, ‘I love you, Mariah’ through his harmonica! And then laughs his sweet, brilliant, healing laugh, and then the song begins.”
Oh, make me wanna say
Yeah, yeah
Oh boy, you make me say
Something about you
Makes every girl high
Suffering without you
I just want a taste of what you got
But my mama always told me not to
Play with those players who play you till there's no more game left to be played
Look at what you got me going through
Can't help myself because you
Make it look good
(Make it look good)
Say you
Make it look good
(Make it look gooder than them other fools)
Around you I know I ain't supposed to be
Acting like I know you notice me
Fantasize about the way you lick your lips
Fingertips on my hips as we dip
Oh, boy
You make it look good
(Make it look gooder than them other fools)
Baby baby sometimes, I need you
But I feel so shy
Simply can't leave you
Cause them other girls are gonna try
Guess their mama never told them not to
Play with those players who play you till there's no more game left to be played
Look at what you got me going through
Can't help myself because you
Make it look good
(Make it look good)
Said you make it look good
(Make it look gooder than them other fools)
Around you I know I ain't supposed to be
Acting like I know you notice me
Fantasize about the way you lick your lips
Fingertips on my hips as we dip
Oh, boy
You make it look good
(Make it look gooder than them other fools)
Oh boy
And it makes every girl high
Oh boy, you make me say
Oh, oh you
My mama said don't play with them players
No, no
Look at what you got me going through
Fantasize about the way you lick your lips
Oh, it's gooder than them other fools
Yes, it is
