Slow Ride

She takes her time when it's time to get ready

Always has her way

Always leaves me waiting by the phone

She told me more than once to take it slow

And I said, "Okay"

But lately, I've been sleeping all alone

Oh, I'm not breaking up inside

I'm much too proud to moan

Baby, please come home

I feel a little lucky, so I try to play it cool

Think she laughs inside

Words that burn like fire in my mouth, yeah

Try to be the man like I got the master plan

Night out on the town

Drink and dance and we can turn it out

Oh, maybe it's how your body moves

I just don't know

Maybe it's just the way you move so slow

Ask me why I play myself, play myself for a fool

Swear that I would do most anything

Walk a mile just to see her smile

Walk a mile just to rock for a while

Babe, I'm thinking with my ding-a-ling

Oh, I've been doing some thinking

Now I just don't know

Maybe it's just the way you move so slow

Maybe 'cause you move so slow

Maybe 'cause you move so slow

But sitting on the verge of tears

Does not become my twenty-two years

You took my shame and you took my pride

Now you gonna take me for a slow ride

Uh, waiting, waiting on the phone

Words that burn like fire in my mouth, yeah

Come on down, reggae style

Wind up that body like a bass line, wild

Drink and dance and we can turn it out

Oh, I'm not going crazy, but I just don't know

Maybe it's just the way you move so slow

Maybe 'cause you move so slow

Maybe 'cause you move so slow

Like love

Move it nice and slow

Slow ride

Slow ride
