Slow Down
Bobby Valentino Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I saw you walking
Down on Melrose
You looked like an angel
Straight out of heaven, girl
I was blown away by
Your sexiness
All I have to do is catch up to you
[Chorus]
Slow down I just want to get to know you
But don't turn around
'cause that pretty round thing looks good to me
Slow down never seen anything so lovely
Now turn around
And bless me with your beauty, cutie
A butterfly tattoo
Right above your naval
Your belly button's pierced too just like I like it girl
Come take a walk with me
You'll be impressed by
The game that I kick to you
It's over and for real

[Bridge]
Like a flower fully bloomed in the summertime, you're ready
To be watered by this conversation, you're ready
And we all can use shine like the sun
Let me be the one to enjoy you
Let's kick it girl

[Chorus: x2]

Oh baby you know by now that I want you bad
I'm floating on open air I can't come down
Cupid hit me already damn
Now I can't leave till seven digits are in my hand, my
Hand

[Bridge]

[Chorus: x2]

Slow down never seen anything so lovely
Cutie





[Chorus]

Overall Meaning

The song "Slow Down" by Bobby Valentino tells a story of a man who is mesmerized by the beauty of a woman he sees walking down Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles. He is instantly attracted to her and wants to get to know her better. He describes the woman's physical attributes including her butterfly tattoo above her naval and her belly button piercing that he likes. He also notes that he is impressed by the game he will kick to her. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "Slow down" as the man tries to catch up to the woman and get to know her better.


The lyrics of the song can be interpreted as an expression of admiration for physical appearance that lacks depth. The man describes the physical attributes of the woman but does not talk about her personality. He is focused on his own desires and is not giving much thought to the woman's feelings. He wants to enjoy her beauty but does not seem prepared to have a meaningful relationship with her. The bridge of the song briefly touches on the idea of having a deeper connection with someone, but it is overshadowed by the chorus's focus on attraction and lust.

Ō K A M I shieeet Social media would have been alright too better to keep in touch with family and friends but.....sadly it turned into negativity. We don’t use social media for what it was made for. They turned it all around and made it what it is today. 😢😒
