In a smoky little dive on a friday night
I saw her first in the candle light
She caught my eye and smiled
It took all I had to slow down

We spoke no words as we danced real slow
Wet heat rising down below
I whispered to her, let's go
Then she kissed me on the cheek and said, no

Slow down, take your sweet time
Slow down, let's enjoy the ride
Slow down, don't rush the crime
Slow down, but I was burnin' inside

I don't care if it's wrong or it's right
I need you to love me tonight
C'mon, don't you like what you see?
Don't slow me down baby, let me be, yeah

Rockin' my lincoln in the pouring rain
Sweet lusty sounds of two lovers insane

Relentless, I was there
No, we never came up for air
Then she passed out, still as dead
No, she never should've said no

Slow down, take your sweet time
Slow down, let's enjoy the ride
Slow down, don't rush the crime
Slow down, but I was burnin' inside
When she said slow down
