Can't Slow Down
TEN Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It could be my imagination
But are you tonight?
You send me wild with admiration
My sensual satellite

Listen just tell me
Now it's gonna be
Darlin I'll be there
Listen shake the vanity
Take the man in me
On a wing and a prayer
But lady come prepared

Don't you know what you desire
Can't let go of what you've found
Don't you know what you
Inspire in me baby
You can't slow down

It could be blind infatuation
But I have seen the light
Perfectly timed the captivation
To fuel my appetite

Listen don't you wanna be
Making love to me
Touch me if you dare
Listen bridge the sanity
Live your fantasies
On a wing and a prayer
You know I'll take you there

Don't you know what you desire
Can't let go of what you've found
Don't you know what you
Inspire in me baby
You can't slow down
Don't you know you walk in the wire
Can't let go, your heartbeat pounds




Don't you know what you
Inspire in me baby
