Slow
Calvy Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You can tell your friends that we’re taking it slow, it slow, it slow, boy
You can tell your friends that we’re taking it slow, it slow, it slow

Usually I can hardly wait up for one night
But for a man like you I p-pause and I might do it right

I heard that fools, they rush right on in
That ain’t got not nothing to do between me and him, me and him

You can tell your friends that we’re taking it slow, it slow, it slow, boy
You can tell your friends that we’re taking it slow, it slow, it slow
Not that it’s any of their business, but…
I fuckin’ want you
You can tell your friends that we’re taking it slow, it slow, it slow

And you got trauma, I got trauma
But that shit matches so we don’t let it bother
And I’ve never been one to run away from the fear

I heard that fools, they rush right on in
That ain’t got not nothing to do between me and him, me and him

You can tell your friends that we’re taking it slow, it slow, it slow, boy
You can tell your friends that we’re taking it slow, it slow, it slow
Not that it’s any of their business, but…
I fuckin’ want you
You can tell your friends that we’re taking it slow, it slow, it slow

But I think it’s speeding up now
Speed it, speed it, speed it, speed it up

Maybe we could slow it down

But I think it’s speeding up now
Speed it, speed it, speed it, speed it up





Speed it up, Speed it up
