Slow Down
Yes, I'm gonna take away your skates
Slow your speed way down
Ridin' too hot, baby
You're burnin' up the town

Slow down, slow down
Yeah, you know you're doin' wrong
The speed you're travellin', mama
Whoo, you know you can't last long

I bought you a brand new car
You treat it like my heart
You tore out the crankshaft and the transmission
The whole thing fell apart

You're overdrivin', baby
You know you're doin' wrong
The speed you're travellin', mama
Whoo, you know you can't last long

Alright

Fast movin' baby
Can't do nothin' to hold you down
Your speed is supersonic
You're travellin' faster than the sound
I got to do something
To put your feet on the ground
I'm gonna rip a hole in your parachute
Maybe that will bring you down

Slow down, woman
You know you're doin' wrong
The speed you're travellin', baby
Whoo, you know you can't live long
