Slow
Mountenz Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I′ve been having such a hard time
Keeping my hands to myself
I need some help
Dial 911 on my cell
Every single thing about you has me losing control
You body and soul
You make it hard to say no
Like sunshine in summer
Girl, you make it harder
To be cool when clearly it's hot
And I can′t be clearer
When painting the picture
That being good is harder than I thought

You got me low key feeling something
And I've been dreaming 'bout your lovin
Maybe we should take it slow
I′ve been thinking ′bout your body
But I just wanna do the right thing
Maybe we should take it slow
Maybe we should take it
Slow

I just wanna be around you
Wanna respect you cause I
Want you in my life
For more than one or two nights
I just wanna be the one
That treats you different cause you
Don't need an excuse
To want love without being used

Like sunshine in summer
Girl, you make it harder
To be cool when clearly it′s hot
And I can't be clearer
When painting the picture
That being good is harder than I thought

You got me low key feeling something
And I′ve been dreaming 'bout your lovin
Maybe we should take it slow
I′ve been thinking 'bout your body
But I just wanna do the right thing
Maybe we should take it
Slow
Maybe we should take it
Slow

I don't wanna use you for your body
Cause you′re more than just somebody
Yeah, you′re more than just somebody
I don't wanna use you for your body
Cause you′re more than just somebody
Yeah, you're more than just somebody

You got me low key feeling something
And I′ve been dreaming 'bout your lovin
Maybe we should take it slow
I′ve been thinking 'bout your body
But I just wanna do the right thing
Maybe we should take it
Slow




Maybe we should take it
Slow
