Slow Down Baby Lyrics
Stop
Slow down baby
Slow down baby
Slow down baby
Slow down baby
Stop
Slow down baby
Whoa yeah (Slow down baby)
Oooh (Slow down baby)
Hey (Slow down baby)
Whoa ooh (Stop. Slow down baby)
I can tell that you’re into me, uh
Baby it’s so plain to see
I can see it in your eyes
You’re paralysed
Every time I pass you by
You’re the kind that gets your way, uh
Every minute, every single day
I can see it all in your face
You’re blown away
Coz I don’t want you in my space
You’re struttin’ ‘round here like you think that I can’t do without you
You got some nerve to think that I would give up everything
Slow down baby
And don’t act crazy
Don’t you know you can look all you want but you just can’t touch? (Just can’t touch no)
So slow down baby (Hey)
I’m not your lady (Lady)
Boy you’re never gonna get it from me coz I’m with someone
Slow it down
Slow it down
Oh ooh whoa
Slow it
Slow it
Stop
Slow down baby
After all of the games you played
How’s it feel to finally get a taste?
You can dish it out but can you take the bed you’ve made?
Boy and its gonna change
I’m not falling for your stupid lines
I know you’ve dished them ‘bout thousand times
Saying nothing but a nursery rhyme
But I won’t buy it
Baby don’t you even try
You comin’ ‘round here like you think that everything’s about you
If you knew anything, you’d realise I’m wearing a ring
Slow down baby (Slow down)
And don’t act crazy (Crazy hey)
Don’t you know you can look all you want but you just can’t touch? (You just can’t touch no)
So slow down baby (Slow down)
I’m not your lady (Your lady)
Boy you’re never gonna get it from me coz I’m with someone (With someone yay)
Do you really wanna waste your time?
Don’t you have better things to do with life?
Hey ey yeah
Whoa
Listen I don’t wanna get you down
But I ain’t never gonna mess around
So how many ways do I have to say…
Oooh ooh oh
Slow down baby (Slow it down, yeah, yeah)
And don’t act crazy
Don’t you know you can look all you want but you just can’t touch? (You know that you can’t touch no oooh whoa)
So slow down baby (Slow down baby)
I’m not your lady (Not your lady)
Boy you’re never gonna get it from me coz I’m with someone (Oooh whoa)
You better stop
Slow down baby

This new album is amazing- all the songs. I love that she's finally grown up and made a new jazzy album. All the songs are so original and all the background music is fabulous. She's grown into her voice and it shows.
As for the song, its clearly about the guy that's close to you, that always wants to push things forward, no matter the circumstances even if you're in a relationship.
its about the bloke who loves himself and thinks that hes gods gift and cant believe it that shes rejecting him.
I agree with Squishy177 you are exactly right ALL of her songs are incredible i could listen to them all day in fact i have listened to them all day.
yes, she's FINALLY grown up but i'm not that fascinated with the entire album. anyway, it's so much better than the other albums she made! about the meaning, you guys are right, and it's pretty obvious, so i won't say anything about it.
I like this song, it's one of my faves off her new album
this is my favorite song..actually... (:
Obviously, this song is about a guy that once she loved..but he just pushed her away..and lie to her and you know...played with her in a lot of ways.. and now that he's seeing that she is happy with some other guy he's totally freaked out..and want her now..but she doens't want him anymore...
This song is awesome. It's about a guy who thinks he's hot stuff and thinks he can have whoever he wants but is surprised that the girl doesn't want him and would not give up everything in the guy she's with for this loser. whew, long sentense, but i think that's the gist.
I agree with get together. Well descibed. Great song, one of the best from Back To Basics.
I also agree that she finally grew up when she made this album. I like almost all of the songs on the album.
