about

Slow Blues

Girls don’t like to sing the blues
About an unignited fuse,
Nor to voice a sad lament
‘Bout what should be Heaven sent. . .
So, here’s the lowdown,
Baby, when you slow down
And you really take your time,
You increase the chances
That your advances
Are all goin’ to add up
To ring my chime!

Sweet things that are moist and dense
Take the right ingredients,
And a loving hand so sure
And the perfect temperature. . .
Just like nooky,
When you bake a cookie,
You’ve got to have the touch with the heat,
Red-hot lovin’
Needs a red-hot oven,
Then everything you’re bakin’ is somethin’ sweet!

Shutting out the world so we’re really alone
Is more than just a matter of muting your phone,
It’s leaving your distractions elsewhere
And bringing your best presence to share. . .
When we are alone, nothing enters your mind
But the thought that we - and we alone - are entwined
In the push and pull of love’s act,
In the promises of love’s pact:
When I put my lips on yours,
It’s going to open doors
To marvelous amours. . .

You don’t need advanced degrees
To try your special girl to please,
You don’t need to be Einstein
To make that girl feel exceptionally fine. . .
Destinations,
Baby, take some patience,
You don’t want to get there too fast,
The real love potion
Is some real slow motion
So when you finally get there, it will last and last,
Last and last,
(Not so fast),
Make love last!

So when you finally get there, it will last and last,
Last and last,
