As the midnight moon, was drifting through The lazy sway of the trees I saw the look in your eyes, lookin' into mine Seeing what you wanted to see Darlin' don't say a word, cause I already heard What your body's sayin' to mine I'm tired of fast moves I've got a slow groove On my mind I want a man with a slow hand I want a lover with an easy touch I want somebody who will spend some time Not come and go in a heated rush I want somebody who will understand When it comes to love, I want a slow hand On shadowed ground, with no one around And a blanket of stars in our eyes We are drifting free, like two lost leaves On the crazy wind of the night Darlin', don't say a word, 'cause I already heard What your body's sayin' to mine If I want it all night You say it's alright We got the time 'Cause I got a man with a slow hand I got a lover with an easy touch I got somebody who will spend some time Not come and go in a heated rush I found somebody who will understand When it comes to love, I want a slow hand If I want it all night Please say it's alright It's not a fast move But a slow groove On my mind 'Cause I got a man with a slow hand I got a lover with an easy touch I found somebody who will spend some time Not come and go in a heated rush I found somebody who will understand I found a lover with a slow hand Oh, lover with the slow hand And I get all excited with his easy touch I found somebody who will spend the night Not come and go in a heated rush
