Nice & Slow
Redhead Kingpin & The F.B.I. Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nice and pleasin', oh, it's really wonderful
Movin' gently, hey, it's so good to me, yes, it is
Move in simply and then let it build up gradually, baby
Takin' time with love just makes it better
So let's relax and reach our ecstasy together
But let's do it slow and easy, baby
Keep it like that, baby, that's how I like my love
I like it slow and pleasin', oh, it's really, really, really good to me
Hurried love is like a good meal down the way
It's up and gone before you really get to taste
Let's do it slow and easy babe, that's how I like my love
Slow and easy, now
No need to rush our love 'coz it ain't goin' nowhere
So let's enjoy this time, the time we both have to share
We've got to take it slow and easy, baby, that's how I like my love
I like it when you're movin' simply, oh, that's how I like my love
I like it slow and easy, baby, take your time, baby
Slow and easy now, no need to rush, baby
I like it slow, slow and easy, I said I like it slow and easy, baby
Take your time, baby, there's no need to rush, baby
In the song "Nice & Slow" by Redhead Kingpin & The F.B.I., the lyrics emphasize the importance of taking things slow and steady in a romantic relationship. The first verse sets the tone for the rest of the song, stating that the singer likes their love slow and easy, with gradual build-up. The second verse drives home the point that rushed love is not fulfilling, comparing it to an unfinished meal. The chorus repeats the idea of slow and easy love, urging the partner to take their time and enjoy the moment. The bridge of the song reminds the listener that there is no need to rush love since it is going nowhere.
The overall message of the song is that taking time with love makes it more enjoyable and fulfilling. Rushing through a relationship can leave one unsatisfied and unfulfilled. The lyrics also suggest that these slow and easy moments help to build intimacy and a stronger connection between partners.
The song was released in 1989 and gained popularity as part of the hip-hop and R&B movement of the late 80s and early 90s. It was a hit in both the United States and the United Kingdom, charting in the top 40 on both countries' music charts.
