Slow Hand
Conway Twitty - Topic Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The lazy sway of the trees
I saw the look in your eyes, looking into the night
Not seeing what you wanted to see
Darlin', don't say a word, I've already heard
What your body's sayin' to mine, you're tired of fast moves
You've got a slow groove on your mind
You want a man with a slow hand
You want a lover with an easy touch
You want somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush baby, believe me I understand
When it comes to love, you want a slow hand
On shadowed ground, with no one around
And a blanket of stars in our eyes
Hey, we're drifting free, like two lost leaves
On the crazy wind of the night
Darlin', don't say a word, I've already heard
What your body's sayin' to mine, if you want all night
You know it's alright I've got time
You've got a man with a slow hand
You've got a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody who will spend some time
Not come and go in a heated rush, baby believe me I understand
When it comes to love, you want a slow hand
You want a lover with an easy touch
You've got somebody who will spend some time with you baby
Not come and go in a heated rush, baby believe me I understand

The woman does not want a man who is only interested in quick and aggressive movements; instead, she wants a lover who is gentle and patient.
The lyrics convey a sense of intimacy and tenderness between two people. The man assures the woman that he understands her desires and he is more than willing to fulfill them. He is patient and is willing to spend as much time as she needs to feel satisfied. The chorus of the song repeats the phrase "you want a man with a slow hand," emphasizing the woman's desire for a lover who will take things slow and be gentle with her.
