Slow
Emma Philine Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

How I take off my wet dress
How you said how nice
How did you get here
How did you get here
How we cuddle up into your blankets
My feet cold you're so warm
You are so warm to me
Why can't you feel

Slow, slow, slow
Do me
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow
Come do me
Slow, slow, slow
Yeah
Slow, slow, slow
Come do me
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow
Come do me
Slow, slow, slow
How I open your shoelaces
How to open pants
Open your pants for me
I really want to feel
How you walk with
Your hands for my breast
Along my hips
And then fall asleep
Please don't fall asleep
Slow, slow, slow
Come do me
Slow slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow

Come do me
Slow, slow, slow
