Cover art for Slow Down Sister lyrics by Deep Purple

Go to the woman like a switchblade knife Baby says we're gonna break the law tonight Ooh...if your daddy could see you now

Rock'n'Roll rebel on a jailbreak run This operator but a little high strung There's one in every crowd

"You got coming to you, it happens every time that's what you get for a life of crime You got it coming to you, if you cross the line" (Chorus)

And you can't back up, when the going gets tough And if you fly that high you'd better get some...

Slow down sister, you're burn, burn, burnin', at the speed of light Better slow down sister Put on tile brakes or you won't get through the night

She don't love you, gonna shoot to thrill I tell you that little girl's kiss could kill She got me standing on a one way street

Can't break the chains, the ties that bind Slave to the rhythm and my heart's in time Beware the taste is bittersweet

Chorus

When the lights go down, and you hit the ground It'll happen so fast,....

Slow down sister I said look out now, danger in a little girl's eyes Slow down sister Well you're gonna find out there's trouble in paradise ..that ain't nice...

You'll never stop party your b_tterfly ball dressed in the black, if you think you've done it all Come on now baby, you know it's true

You want all the money and the price of fame Ride to glory on another man's name Now there's a lesson here for you

Chorus

And you can't back up, when the going gets rough And if you fly that high you'd better get some...

Slow down sister, you're burn, burn, burnin', at the speed of light slow down sister no,no.. Put on ....., never gonna fool tonight

I said look out now, there's danger in a little girl's eyes Slow down sister, slow down ,slow down Well you're gonna find out there's trouble..trouble in paradise

I said slow
