Slow Down Sun Down

Break down, Chinatown

Come down, count down

Post town, de-crown

Downtown, evening gown

Go down, hand me down

Ho down, low down

Meltdown, midtown

Motown, nightgown

Throw down, put me down

Renown, rug down

Shake down, shanty town

Show down, shut down

Slow down, sun down

Slow down, sun down

Like a dead mouse in a flop house

No where else to go but up

Heaven words is how it hurts

And even though my heart froze, I'm learning

Give exactly what I chose

Boohoo, crying out into my witches brew

Predisposed for heartache, I suppose

Black and blue, mom and pop juxtaposed

And it's just the way the story goes

She called me Coco, called you Rose

Hand me down all your favorite clothes

Horseshoe tossed, all the fortunes lost

Love, she flew away with the doves

Now it's my time, my time to shine

I got my own crimes to do

Still gotta pick up after you

But I just don't know what to do

With all these empty rooms

When you first laid eyes on me, did you never wanna put me down?

Was I worth more to you than any girl in town?

Any girl in town

When you first laid eyes on me, did you never wanna put me down?

Was I worth more to you than any girl in town?

Any girl in town

Tear my hair, throw my shoes, made love to you

I made love to you

I love you, I do, I guess

And you're so handsome, I've got to say yes

Tear my hair, throw my shoes, make love to you

I make love to you

You love me, you do, I guess

And you're so goddamn handsome, I've got to say yes

Ooh, I've got to say yes

Home is where you hang your hat, all of that

Mouse and cats and dogs

What are the odds of finding love again?

One that you can call your kindred spirit

You wanna have it, yeah

I was humiliated, ill-fated, resonated

And my grim manipulated, liquidated

Medicated, dilapidated, isolated

I was alone, and my own home is where the heart breaks

When you first laid eyes on me, did you never wanna put me down?

Was I worth more to you than any girl in town?

Any girl in town

When you first laid eyes on me, did you never wanna put me down?

Oh, was I worth more to you than any girl in town?

Tear my hair, throw my shoes, make love to you

I'll make love to you

Love me, you do, I guess

And you're so handsome, I've got to say yes

Tear my hair, throw my shoes, made love to you

I made love to you

I love you, I do, I guess

Ooh, I've got to say yes

When you first laid eyes on me, did you never wanna put me down?

Was I worth more to you than any girl in town?

Any girl in town
