Slow Dance
Legend John Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can we wait just a minute
Slow it down for a minute now baby
Your talkin' loud
Your wilding out
Don't seem like my old lady
Lets go and play the song we used to play
Can we reignite the flame
'Cause things just ain't the same
We can talk about the baby
We can talk until we're crazy
We can focus on it now
Or we can focus on it later
We can start another fight
We can argue and fuss all night
But I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance
Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with you man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
Move yea
Can we wait just a minute
Turn that TV off for a minute
Now politics and talkin' shit ain't really none of my business
Lets go and play the songs we used to play
On that old school radio
Let the music soothe your soul
Forget about the world
I'm groovin' with my girl
Forget about the news
Lets put on our dancin' shoes
Lets not talk about the war
Do we know what they fightin' for
I propose that we go to the floor and we slow dance
Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with you man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move, move
Move yea yea
Move yea yea
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin' together
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin' together
I love it
I love it
I love it we're slow dancin' together
I love it
I love it I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance
Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with your man yea
Tonight I wanna groove
Let the music make you move
John Legend's Slow Dance is a romantic song that speaks volumes about intimacy, love, and companionship. The song speaks about a couple who is going through a difficult time in their lives, and instead of arguing and fighting, John suggests that they take a break from their problems and connect with each other. He pleads with his woman to slow things down and appreciate the beautiful moments they have shared together. He wants to play the songs they used to play, soak in the music, and let their love blossom again.
John Legend highlights that they could talk about everything they have gone through and everything that is going wrong in their lives, but that's not going to help. Instead, they should forget the world and everything that is going on and dance slowly to the rhythm of their love. He mentions that when they start dancing, they can forget about the war and everything else that is stressful; they could drop their guards and be the people they were when they first met. The song emphasizes the importance of taking a chance and slowing down, enjoying the present moment, forgetting the negative, and holding on to each other.
The song has a soothing rhythm and a melody that can melt even the most rigid heart. The lyrics are well thought out and full of meaning. John Legend's vocals are excellent, and the melody complements the lyrics perfectly. The song inspires couples to bond and appreciate each other's presence. It teaches us that even in the darkest of times and in the moments when we are fighting against each other, we should take a break, talk less, dance more, and connect with our soulmates.
