My love is cruel as the night
She steals the sun, and shuts out the light
All of my colors turn to blue
Win or lose
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
Scarlet eyes and a see-through heart
I saw it comin' right from the start
She picked me up, but had me down on my knees
Just a' beggin' her please
Take me slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
And I don't know why a man
Search for himself in his woman's eyes
No, I don't know why a man
Sees the truth but needs the lies
My love is restless as the wind
She moves like a shadow across my skin
She left with my conscience, and I don't want it back
It just gets in the way
Wanna go slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
She steals the sun, and shuts out the light
All of my colors turn to blue
Win or lose
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
Scarlet eyes and a see-through heart
I saw it comin' right from the start
She picked me up, but had me down on my knees
Just a' beggin' her please
Take me slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
And I don't know why a man
Search for himself in his woman's eyes
No, I don't know why a man
Sees the truth but needs the lies
My love is restless as the wind
She moves like a shadow across my skin
She left with my conscience, and I don't want it back
It just gets in the way
Wanna go slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
Slow dancing
Slow dancing
Slow
