Slow Down

Slow Down


You had some hard times baby, comin’ around
Bad luck and worse men, all shady, bringin’ you down
I was fancy free and easy, a man about town
We were lost in a wilderness, just waitin’ to be found

Take it easy, take it smooth
Guard your heart, let your mind rule
Take it easy, take it smooth
No need to keep playin’ the fool

Slow down, you move too fast
You’ve got to let the emotions last
Slow down, you move to fast
This love is not like the past

You were a hard luck lady, needin’ a change
I was just ready to be pleasin’, put another link in my chain
You were in such a bad way baby, couldn’t take more of the same
I came ‘round to see your special pain, just wanted to keep you sane

Take it easy, take it smooth
Guard your heart, let your mind rule
Take it easy, take it smooth
No need to keep playin’ the fool




Slow down, you move too fast
You’ve got to let the emotions last
Slow down, you move to fast
This love is not like the past

Slow down….
Slow down….

So we’ll do the slow dance baby, and keep it all real
We’ll take the high ground together, from feel to feel
No need to jump to the fast lane, to get across town
We’ll do it the slow way together, for a love that is sound

Take it easy, take it smooth
Guard your heart, let your mind rule
Take it easy, take it smooth
No need to keep playin’ the fool

Slow down, you move too fast
You’ve got to let the emotions last
Slow down, you move to fast
This love is not like the past

Slow down….
Slow down….

You were a hard luck lady, needin’ a change
In such a bad way baby, couldn’t take more of the same
So we’ll do the slow dance together, and keep it all real
We’ll take the high ground together, from feel to feel
