Slow It Down Lyrics
[Verse 1: Drake]
Hey girl,
Do you want my number?
That way you can call me
Everytime I come into town
And then I will drive up to your house
And take you out to dinner
I don't expect nothing at all
[Chorus:]
But what if we happen to kiss, then we touch
Put a rush on it, get it over with
What if I just know what you like
And it feels right, then it's over with
What if I don't call you back
Prove you right
And all this lasts just one night
(Maybe we should slow it down) slow, slow, slow
[Verse 2: Drake]
Hey girl,
I'm back in Atlanta
Second dates are lovely
This time you should choose where we go
Need suggestions?
How about the movies?
Many go for ice cream
I'm not picky, you'll let me know
[Chorus:]
But what if we happen to kiss, then we touch
Put a rush on it, get it over with
What if I just know what you like
And it feels right, then it's over with
What if I don't call you back
Prove you right
And all this lasts just one night
(Maybe we should slow it down) slow, slow, slow
[Verse 3: Tommy Stars]
Girl I ain't a pimp (pimp)
Girl I ain't a playa' (no)
And I ain't tryna move too fast
So I'm a just take it slow (slow, slow)
Girl I just wanna know (know, know)
What would happen if we made love?
Would we have the same feelings when we break up?
Would we still spend hours on the phone?
Wishing we was alone
Would you speak to me in a totally different tone?
I don't know but
I can guarantee two things in life
One is death and the other is I can change your whole life
With one night (one night)
Doing wrong always feels so right (so right)
He can start off with a kiss(kiss), leading to a touch
Forming a relationship based solely around lust
I'm tryna' move slow (girl)
Relax in the drift
But everytime I do, my brain's reaction is this...
[Chorus:]
But what if we happen to kiss, then we touch
Put a rush on it, get it over with
What if I just know what you like
And it feels right, then it's over with
What if I don't call you back
Prove you right
And all this lasts just one night
(Maybe we should slow it down) slow, slow, slow

Add your song meanings, interpretations, facts, memories & more to the community.
This is a beautiful song, but I think it's overlooked a lot because of it's beat and how easily it flows. Anyway, basically this song is about Drake wanting to be with a girl but not wanting to take it too far too soon. the song talks about the possible outcomes of it (But what if we happen to kiss, then we touch, Put a rush on it, get it over with, What if I just know what you like, And it feels right, then it's over with). That one obviously being sex. But then he discusses what happens after the fact (What if I don't call you back, Prove you right, And all this lasts just one night) meaning that it was a one night stand, but it could have been more if they would have taken it a little slower ((Maybe we should slow it down) slow, slow, slow). Verse 2 is basically saying what were to happen should they try to pursue a relationship after the fact. This is just my interpretation, even though I think it's pretty accurate :)
i pretty much agree with @ipodaddict616. Drake's taking this girl out nd wen they get home nd kissing starts leading to touching nd they kno tht the sex is gona be good and wat not, but Drake doesn't want it end to end up being a one nite stand nd they'll always be considered jus fuck buddies or something like tht. And so he's tryin to avoid tht and he wants to jus "Slow It Down"(:
