Lenny Williams, She Took My Drawers | Midnight Heat

In the 22^nd edition of Midnight Heat (2025), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “She Took My Drawers” by Lenny Williams.

Ah, bring on Midnight Heat ! Wait – it is not usually hot at midnight! Well, it is steaming hot at midnight when it comes to this naughty, innuendo, and sex-laden column featuring songs intended for nighttime. These risqué, unapologetic records often raise eyebrows and temperature alike. In the 22^nd  edition of Midnight Heat (2025), we explore the naughty, sexy vibes behind “She Took My Drawers” by Lenny Williams.

“My girl and I was at a motel on a rendezvous (Yeah) / Makin’ sweet, sweet love like we always do.” This is already steamy, Lenny Williams (1945 – ).  Please, continue.  “I fell asleep, and when I woke up, my girl was gone (Yes, she was) / She text me a picture on my telephone.” Oh, snap! What did she do, Lenny? As the title informs us, “She Took My Drawers”.  Damn! Williams released “She Took My Drawers” in November 2023. We assume the undies have been missing since then… Williams and Derek Allen penned this adult contemporary R&B joint released when Lenny was 78 years young.

“She Took My Drawer” benefits from smooth, soulful vibes, fitting for a soul singer with skills like Williams. No, he does not deliver the high-flying falsetto and drama like his younger, “‘Cause I Love You” days, but he still has ‘mad’ pipes.  He is playful throughout “Drawers.” Depending on the person, the lyrics can be described as cringy, funny, or silly, particularly during the chorus:

“She took my drawers

Said she gonna put it on TikTok and get a million views

She took my drawers

The girl just threatened me, y’all, to put it on the evening news

She took my drawеrs

She say she love mе (She said it), she said she care

She took my drawers

Why in the hell did she take my underwear?”

Word. Williams raises eyebrows in the second verse when he asserts, “These boxers are special, a gift from my wife to me.”  Describe them to us, Lenny:  “Had her picture on the front (Oh), and mine on the back.” Damn, damn, damn! In the third and final verse, he states this woman could have done or given anything else, including COVID or RSV. Instead, she took his special pair of boxers, and now, he has to explain it to his wife.  Ain’t that some sh-? “She Took My Drawers” by Lenny Williams is something else!
