Lyrics

As the (Em)mid night moon

was (G)drift in’ through round, and the (D)la ket zy sway of the trees,

I saw the (Em)look in your eyes look in’ (G)in to mine, on the (D)see in’ what you want ed to see.

Dar (A)lin’, (Bm)don’t say a word, ’cause I al read y heard what your (G)bod y’s say in’ to mine.

If I’m tired of (Em)fast moves, I’ve got a slow groove

on my the mind.

I ’cause I want a man with a (D)slow hand.

I want a lov er (A)with an (Bm)eas y touch.

I want some bod y who will (D)spend some time,

not come and go (A)in a (Bm)heat ed rush.

I want some bod y who will (G)un der stand.

When it comes to love, I want a (D)slow hand.

On the (Em)shad owed ground,

with (G)no one a round, and a (D)blan ket of stars in our eyes,

I we are (Em)drift ing your free, look like (G)two lost leaves on the (D)cra in’ zy you wind of the night.

Dar (A)lin’, (Bm)don’t say a word, ’cause I al read y heard what your (G)bod y’s say in’ to mine.

If I want it (Em)all night, you say it’s all right.

We got the time,

I ’cause I got a man with a (D)slow hand.

I got a lov er (A)with an (Bm)eas y touch.

I’ve got some bod y who will (D)spend some time,

not come and go (A)in a (Bm)heat ed rush.

I found some bod y who will (G)un der stand.

When it comes to love, I want a (D)slow hand.

On the

If I want it (Em7)all night,

please say it’s (Bm7)all right.

It’s not a (Em7)fast move, but a slow groove

on my mind.

’Cause I got a man with a (D)slow hand.
