Slow Down (Williams) Lyrics



Well, come on pretty baby, won't you walk with me?
Come on, pretty baby, won't you talk with me?
Come on pretty baby, give me one more chance.
Try to save our romance!

Slow down, baby, now you're movin' way too fast.
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin',
Ow! if you want our love to last.

Well, I used to walk you home, baby, after school,
Carry your books home, too.
But now you got a boyfriend down the street,
Baby what you're tryin' to do?

You better slow down!
Baby, now you're movin' way too fast.
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin',
Bbbbb! if you want our love to last.

Well you know that I love you, tell the world I do.
Come on, pretty baby, why can't you be true?
I need your baby, oh so bad,
The best little woman I ever had

Slow down, baby, now you're movin' way too fast.
You gotta gimme little lovin', gimme little lovin',
Ow! if you want our love to last.

Anomalies

Whole track * NEW *
Ride cymbal sound phases oddly in the right channel, maybe from headphone leakage in the vocal track, and Lennon moving back and forth on the microphone.
0:07,0:10,0:25 * NEW *
Click sounds, the first two are a vocal "lip smacking"/gum chewing noise.
0:45,1:02,2:27,2:29,2:45 * NEW *
Piano is out of sync (comes in early, usually) with the backing. This is an overdub by George Martin at a later stage.
1:14-1:17 * NEW *
Piano (right) stops abruptly and recommences for no apparent reason, allegedley this is connected with the boy/gurr edit below.
1:15
One voice sings "Now you've got a boyfriend down the street". Another sings "gurr" as in "girlfriend" (!) and seems to stumble over the "down the street" part.
