About Slow an' Easy

"Slow an' Easy" is a song by the English hard rock band Whitesnake, released as the fourth and final single from their 1984 album Slide It In. The album provided the group with a commercial breakthrough in the United States, and this specific song, which was released as a promo single, became a hit on rock radio. "Slow an' Easy" and previous single "Love Ain't No Stranger" reached #17 and #34 on Billboard's Mainstream Rock Tracks chart, respectively. The song was co-written by singer David Coverdale and guitarist Micky Moody, who was the only original member, besides Coverdale, left in the band. Moody was possibly the one that influenced the bluesy style of "Slow An' Easy"; most of the material on Slide It In took influence from contemporary melodic hard rock in terms of sound, in contrast to the earlier, blues rock based albums of the band. In 25th Anniversary Edition of Slide It In, Coverdale comments on the songs recording by saying: "Slow & Easy was recorded at 4 in the morning in Munich after a serious night's partying... Most of the vocals is just a live 'jam' lyric I made up to inspire the band as we recorded... I played around with the lyric later to try and make some sense of it..."

You keep on pushing, babe,
Like I've never known before
You know you drive me crazy, child,
An' I just want to see you on the floor
I want to superstitious woman
She got a superstitious mind

I can't see you, baby
I can't see you anymore, no more
You keep on loving me
Like I've never known before
I want to superstitious woman
With a superstitious, a superstitious mind, an' I don't mind, baby 

My heart is beating faster, babe
It's beating like a big bass drum
You know you got me speeding, child
Faster than a bullet from a gun
You're a superstitious woman
An' I got a superstitious mind, an' I don't care 

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone 

I don't care about, oh
I don't care about love, no more
The way you keep abusing me
Oh, I can't take no more
I want a woman
She got a superstitious mind 

So take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way,
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone,
Rock me 'til I'm burned 

So take me down slow an' easy
Make love to me slow an' easy
Take me down slow an' easy,
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone

Take me down slow an' easy,
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone

So take me down slow an' easy
Make love to me slow an' easy
I know that hard luck an' trouble
Is coming my way
So rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone
Rock me 'til I'm burned to the bone
Rock me 'til I'm burned 
To the bone
