Slow Dance Lyrics
Come here, baby
Sometimes, I just wanna dance with you
Hold me like this
Just rock with me
[Verse 1]
Put your arms around me, boy
I got somethin' to show ya, tonight
And you know I need your undivided attention, baby (Whoa)
Ain't no other girl can rock your world like I
[Pre-Chorus]
So, rewind
Make this moment last forever, baby
It feels like your body's callin' me
But I don't...
[Chorus]
I don't (Don't)
Want to (Don't want to)
Come on (Come on)
Too strong
But something happens when we slow dance (When we slow dance)
I try to be (Be)
Lady like (Lady like)
But I got you (You)
Here tonight (Tonight)
But somethin' happens when we slow dance (When we slow dance)
Talkin' with my finger tips (Yeah, yeah)
I got so much to say, babe
(Words just get in the way, baby, the way, baby)
Let's see: Can you read my hips?
Read between the lines (Read, yeah)
As we bump and grind
Just makes it better from behind
So one more time
[Pre-Chorus]
Rewind
Make this moment last forever, baby
It feels like your body's callin' me
But I don't..
[Chorus]
I don't (Don't)
Want to (Don't want to)
Come on (Come on)
Too strong
But something happens when we slow dance (When we slow dance)
I try to be (Be)
Lady like (Lady like)
But I got you (You)
Here tonight (Tonight)
But somethin' happens when we slow dance (When we slow dance)
Got you in my element
Time to represent who you with
The whole world's starin' at the both of us
And I'm givin' you all my love
Got you (Got you) at my element (Element)
Time to represent (Represent) who you with (Who, who, who you with)
The whole world starin' at the both of us
And I'm givin' you all my love
This one's for the dance floor, strictly for the dance floor
This one's for the dance floor, strictly for the dance floor
This one's for the dance floor, strictly for the dance floor
This one's for the dance floor, strictly for the... (Yeah)
[Chorus]
I don't (Don't)
Want to (Don't want to)
Come on (Come on)
Too strong
But something happens when we slow dance (When we slow dance)
I try to be (Be)
Lady like (Lady like)
But I got you (You)
Here tonight (Tonight)
But somethin' happens when we slow dance (When we slow dance)
I like that one
Just rock with me
About
it is about a sensual dance between a woman and her man

On working with Justin Timberlake on the song:
I love Justin. He was like kind of a mentor to me during that time. We were all at Timbaland’s studio — Thomas Crown Studios. I was working on my stuff. He was working on his stuff. And the track was playing. Justin was doing a driveby walking by our session. We just start playing around with some Prince-ish melodies. That’s really how it started. We ended up beginning the song together, then he eventually went on to his own session and then I just finished it. I finished writing it and Jim Beanz — I had him doing some arrangement on it after it was finished being written, which is he’s really good at that. I love my arranging now, but when it comes to wanting other flavors, to me that’s Jim’s expertise. I had to color a few records on my album. I call it coloring because it’s kind of like filling in gaps and filling in the blanks of arranging."
