Lyrics

Slow

[Intro]

(Boy what you know isn't what you know

And the pace is quickening and

Still your heart goes slow)

[Chorus]

My heart beats slowly

My heart beats slowly

And my heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow

[Verse 1]

Slow now that you're here

Differences gotta hold on me

I'ma let my hair down, my hair down

Baby I am here now, I'm here now

Trying to have no fear

When you run down this love 'til I break

Listen to me clear now, clear now

Baby, I am here now, I'm here now

[Chorus]

My heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow

Said my heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow

My heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow

[Verse 2]

Now that you're free

Only you can bring me to my knees

Baby I'm falling, I'm falling

Can't you hear me calling, calling

Hey, yeah, yeah we're going too fast

Better slow down, boy make it all last

Waking in the deep night, the deep night

Baby, I don't feel like, I feel like

[Chorus]

My heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow

Said my heart beats slowly!

My heart beats slow

(When what you know isn't what you know

And the pace is quickening

Still your heart goes slow)

My heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow!

[Post-Chorus]

Come on, baby, touch my body (Work it)

Never stop it (Work it)

I'm gonna ride it out for you

I've been waiting all day

Thinking 'bout you, baby

Love the way you make my heart move

[Chorus]

My heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow

Said my heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow

My heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow

Said my heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow

[Outro]

(When what you know isn't what you know

And the pace is quickening

Still your heart goes slow)

My heart beats slowly

My heart beats slow

(When what you know isn't what you know

And the pace is quickening

Still your heart goes slow)

Slow, slow, slow
