Lyrics
[Verse 1]
(I can't believe I'm here down at the Q's Juke Joint)
(It sure was happenin', y'all)
(But listenin' to this music kind of makes me think about)
(When I used to listen to slow jams back in the day)
[Verse 2]
(Ooh, like baby face whip appeal)
(Or R Kelly Bump 'N' Grind)
(But you know what? Sometimes when I'm just layin' down with my man)
(I get the feelin' I need to hear a little Barry White)
(Show you right)
[Verse 3]
(Then there's other times when I just need a little sexual healing)
(And what about some Teddy Pendergrass?)
(Close the door and turn off the lights)
[Verse 4]
Ooh, sugar, sugar, feels so, feels so good
Yes, yeah, baby
Baby, oh yeah, yeah
[Verse 5]
Baby, dim the lights while I pour the wine
Slip the music up nice and slow
Wanna move with you inside a groove
Like no one's ever known
[Verse 6]
Let your body unwindin the warmth of mine
And tell me what you like
'Cause tonight I wanna turn you on to paradise
[Verse 7]
Sweet thing, hold me close (Share my desire)
And we can make the magic flow
Once the music is right
[Verse 8]
Give me slow jams, yeah (Give me slow jams and hot romance)
(Rock me with that tender dance) Yes
Baby, get closer so we can feel the power of love
[Verse 9]
(Share my sweet groove the whole night through)
Let, (Let me lay my beat on you) yeah
We'll keep the music playin', movin' in time
There's somethin' so good
Yes, ooh, so good, baby, yeah
[Verse 10]
Let me get a taste of some baby face
And you know it'll be alright
'Cause the road that ends at boys to men
Is the road I wanna ride
[Verse 11]
We can go to the moon on a Stevie tune
Fly ribbons in the sky
Give me everything R Kelly sings
Let us bump and grind
[Verse 12]
Baby, feel the beat (Here in my heart)
Whoa, move with me in ecstasy
Let the melody start
[Verse 13]
(Give me slow jams and hot romance) Yeah, yeah, yeah
(Rock me with that tender dance)
I wanna feel the passion, so give me all you got
(Share my sweet groove the whole night through)
(Make tonight a dream come true)
Let's keep this good thing goin'
Never, never, never let it stop
[Verse 14]
There's somethin' that feels so right
Deep inside of your rhythm, oh, baby
Baby, tonight's your night
When I feel your beat inside my soul
It's a do me groove I know I can't control, yeah
[Verse 15]
(Woo)
(Start the jam up)
[Verse 16]
Oh, yeah
Sweet thing, hold me close (Share my desire)
Hey, we can make the magic flow once the music is right
[Verse 17]
(Give me slow jams and hot romance) Yeah, yeah
(Rock me with that tender dance) Oh, yeah
I wanna feel the passion so give me all you got
(Share my sweet groove the whole night through)
Ooh, let me lay my beat on you, babe
Let's keep this good thing goin'
Movin' in time with somethin' good
[Verse 18]
(Give me slow jams and hot romance) Oh
(Rock me with that tender dance) Oh
Oh, oh, baby, get a little bit closer
So we can feel the power, power of love, oh, yes
(Share my sweet groove the whole night through)
(Let me lay my beat on you)
We'll get the music playin' and playin', baby
(Let's keep this good thing goin')
Oh, movin' in time
(Never, never, never let it stop)
[Verse 19]
(Slow jams and hot romance)
Oh, yeah, slow jams
You know I like this, baby (Do it, do it to me)
And you know
Sweet groove the whole night through (We could get some Barry White)
(Yes, baby, that's right)
Come on, come on (Feel the passion, baby, feel the passion, baby)
[Verse 20]
(Slow jams and hot romance)
Baby, comfort me like Sade (Work it, baby)
You know I like that
(Baby, just let me play)
Oh, yeah
[Verse 21]
(Sweet groove the whole night through)
(All night long, baby, all night long, baby)
Make it sweet
(All night long, yes)
(All night long)
(Baby, play the song)
[Verse 22]
(Slow jams and hot romance)
And also you can give me some of that silk, you know?
(Baby, do it, do it to me) Do it to me
'Cause you know I like it slow, baby
(Sweet groove the whole night through) (So do I)
Mmm, mmm, yeah
