Slow Down

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Or maybe my second best
What do I have to do
To know that I'm gettin' through?
I don't have much to say
Just hopin' you'd come my way
What do I have to do
To come and get close to you?
Baby, I won't slow down
And I won't say when
Tell me why I be comin' 'round again
I'm ready to go again
Baby, I won't slow down
And I won't say no
Just one look and I think it'd start a show
I think that I already know
Colorin' in the greys
I see your every shade
I'm runnin' back around
To tell you I'll hold you down
I could say everything
Pullin' me by the string
What do I have to do?
Tell me what you wanna do
(Tell me what you wanna do)
Baby, I won't slow down
And I won't say when
Tell me why I be comin' 'round again
I'm ready to go again (think I'm ready to go)
Baby, I won't slow down
And I won't say no
Just one look and I think it'd start a show
I think that I already know (think that I already know)
Baby, I won't slow down
And I won't say when
Tell me why I be comin' round again
I'm ready to go again (think I'm ready to go)
Baby, I won't slow down
And I won't say no
Just one look and I think it'd start a show
I think that I already know
