Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Wanna take the world off my mind
I wanna give love a chance
And baby slow dance
Wanna take the kids to your moms
Wanna throw some Lionel Richie on
I wanna give love a chance
Let me show you that I'm still the man I used to be
Take you in my arms
Sweep you off your feet
'Cause I can still remember what it feels like to believe
In true romance
So baby let's slow dance
Oooo
I wanna let the moment have it's way
I wanna kiss that smile back on your face
I wanna give love a chance
And baby slow dance
So let me show you that I'm still the man I used to be
Take you in my arms
Sweep you off your feet
'Cause I can still remember what it feels like to believe
In true romance
So baby let's slow dance
Yeah let me show you that I'm still the man I used to be
Take you in my arms
Sweep you off your feet
'Cause I can still remember what it feels like to believe
In true romance
Yeah let me show you that I'm still the man I used to be
Take you in my arms
Sweep you off your feet
'Cause I can still remember what it feels like to believe
In true romance
So baby let's slow dance
Yeah baby let's slow dance
