Lyrics

Slower

Say you'll never let me down
How do I know?
When I met your ass about a month ago
No denying that you're cute
We click, I know
But I'm asking you if we can take it slow
Just a little bit, yeah

I'll get the cheque tonight, I don't like stereotypes, nah
And I'm not an instrument you gon' be playing alright, nah
You say I'm paranoid, I say I'm cautious
I made enough mistakes, baby, before this
Alright

So, baby, can we chill?
It's only early days, you know
And I ain't tryna say that I don't like you babe, I do
I love the way you dress, you kiss, you talk, the way you move
Just let me explain myself to you

Say you'll never let me down
How do I know?
When I met your ass about a month ago
No denying that you're cute
We click, I know
But I'm asking you if we can take it slow
Just a little bit slower, slower, slower, slower
Just a little bit slower, slower, slower, slower
Just a little bit slower, slower, slower, slower
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah

A, V
Damn baby, all I need is a lil bit
Not a lot baby girl, just a lil bit
You should come, we can leave in a lil bit
Turn you into my sugababes, its a little mix
That's the spirit, you're picture perfect, no caption with it
You ain't with your whole gang, still gangsta with it
If its murder she wrote, we're fashion killers
Get me look suspect
But we smell a success
Man dem they just wanna see you undress
But, girl, that's why I want more from ya
I need ya
If I'm coming on too strong, I'll leave ya
Alone, oh, you wanna be alone with me
Girl, I know, you know I'll pillowtalk you to sleep
Far from shallow, I'm in too deep

So you'll never let me down
How do I know?
When I met your ass about a month ago
No denying that you're cute
We click, I know
But I'm asking you if we can take it slow
Just a little bit slower, slower, slower, slower (V)
Just a little bit slower, slower, slower, slower
Just a little bit slower, slower, slower, slower
Just a little bit, just a little bit, just a little bit
Ah, yeah
Ah, yeah
