Boy, what you know, is what you know
And the kisses... till your heart go numb
Chorus:
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slowly
And my heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow!
Slow down that you're here
...my hand gone, my hand gone
Baby, I am here now,
You're trying to have no fear
When you're around this hotel
Listen to me clear now, clear now
Baby, I am here now!
Chorus: (x2)
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slowly
And my heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow!
..only you can bring me to me
Baby, I'm falling, I'm falling
Can't you here me calling, calling
Yeah, yeah, yeah what you gonna do?
Better slow down, baby make it all last
Making it in the deep night, the deep night
Baby, I don't feel like, I feel like
Chorus:
My heart beats slowly,
My heart beats slowly,
And my heart beats slowly!
And what you know, is what you know
And the ...till your heart goes numb!
My heart beats slowly,
And my heart beats slowly!
Come on, baby, touch my body
Never stop it!
I'm gonna ride it all for you
I've been waiting all day
I can ride you, baby
But you make my heart slow
Chorus: (x2)
My heart beats slowly,
My heart beats slowly,
And my heart beats slowly!
And what you know, is what you know
And the kisses...till your heart goes numb!
My heart beats slowly,
And my heart beats slowly!
