Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Went to a dance last Saturday night

I was feeling tipsy and the mood was right

Sight a little daughter and I step inna the corner

'Cause I feel like dancing all night

[Verse 2]

But I said

Cool down the pace for me little woman

You're dubbing it too fast for me

Cool down the pace for me little woman

That's not how it should be

[Verse 3]

I told her to try

I don't know why

No use trying 'cause she can't

And so she do it how she want

[Verse 4]

So I said

Cool down the pace for me little woman

You're rocking it too fast for me

Cool down the pace for me little woman

That's not how it should be

[Verse 5]

You're rocking too fast, for me

Said she would try

[Verse 6]

But she just don't know why

She keep on trying but she can't

And so she do it how she want, yeah

But I beg you

[Verse 7]

Cool down the pace for me little woman

You're dubbing it too fast for me

I said to cool down the pace for me little woman

That's not how it should be

Please sister, try

[Verse 8]

I don't know why

No use trying 'cause you can't

And so she do it how she want

But I said cool down the pace

[Verse 9]

Please cool down the pace

You're rocking it too fast

This dance is gonna last

Move a little slower

Move a little slower, not so fast

All night this dance is gonna last

Cool down, cool down, cool down

Cool down, cool down, not so fast

All night, this dance will last

Don't be in a haste

Please cool down the pace

Cool down

Sister please cool down
