Slow Lyrics

[Intro]
(Boy what you know isn't what you know
And the pace is quickening and
Still your heart goes slow)

[Chorus]
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slowly
And my heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow

[Verse 1]
Slow now that you're here
Differences gotta hold on me
I'ma let my hair down, my hair down
Baby I am here now, I'm here now
Trying to have no fear
When you run down this love 'til I break
Listen to me clear now, clear now
Baby, I am here now, I'm here now

[Chorus]
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
Said my heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow

[Verse 2]
Now that you're free
Only you can bring me to my knees
Baby I'm falling, I'm falling
Can't you hear me calling, calling
Hey, yeah, yeah we're going too fast
Better slow down, boy make it all last
Waking in the deep night, the deep night
Baby, I don't feel like, I feel like

[Chorus]
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
Said my heart beats slowly!
My heart beats slow
(When what you know isn't what you know
And the pace is quickening
Still your heart goes slow)
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow!

[Post-Chorus]
Come on, baby, touch my body (Work it)
Never stop it (Work it)
I'm gonna ride it out for you
I've been waiting all day
Thinking 'bout you, baby
Love the way you make my heart move

[Chorus]
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
Said my heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
Said my heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow

[Outro]
(When what you know isn't what you know
And the pace is quickening
Still your heart goes slow)
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
(When what you know isn't what you know
And the pace is quickening
Still your heart goes slow)
Slow, slow, slow

About

Slow is a retake on the usual R&B sex jam (c.f. Body Party). Instead of slapping you in the face (or more appropriately in this case, on the ass) with lots of innuendo, the song has more to do with the dynamics of a relationship as the highs and nerves come down and you get comfortable with each other, but instead of it being drab and boring, she’s framing it as being full of magic. Even the actual innuendo is a double entendre that makes more sense non-sexually. Tinashe can write as well as she can sing.
