Women Like to Slow Dance
Steve Martin/The Steep Canyon Rangers Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Women like to slow dance,
They like it for the romance.
If you want half a chance,
You gotta learn to slow dance.

Find the girl you're thinkin' about, take a chance and take her out.
On the town to cut a rug, if she's the one you really love.
If you want that night to last, don't you try to move to fast.
Better not jump the gun, just relax and have some fun.

Women like to slow dance,
They like it for the romance.
If you want half a chance,
You gotta learn to slow dance.

Take the time and learn to waltz, you'll overlook your other faults.
There's magic in 3/4 time, pace yourself and you'll be fine.
Slow and steady wins the race, it puts a smile there on her face.
She'll be satisfied and pleased, everytime, guaranteed.

Women like to slow dance,
They like it for the romance.
If you want half a chance,
You gotta learn to slow dance.

(Women like to slow... dance.)

They like it! They like it!
They really, really like it!
Hey I like it too!
It's romantic!
(They like it for the romance...)

Women like to slow dance,
They like it for the romance.
If you want half a chance,
You gotta learn to slow dance.

Women like to slow dance,
They like it for the romance.
If you want half a chance,
You gotta learn to slow dance.





(Women Like to slow...)
Come on baby! Now lets do a fast dance!
