Slow Jam
written by Babyface, Belinda Lipscomb, Boaz Watson, Sidney Johnson (1983)
originally performed by Midnight Star
also performed by Usher Featuring Monica
I was all alone
I was feeling rather low
I needed someone to lift my spirits up
So I dropped it on a dance
Just to take a glance
And there this lovely thing was
She was more than enough
I asked her for her hand
Said would you like to dance
So pleased that I had asked
She quickly took my hand
And we danced and fell in love
On a slow jam
Play another slow jam
This time make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby and for me
Play another slow jam
This time make it sweet
On a slow jam
Seems what you say is true
I feel the same way too
I waited all night long
Just to dance with you
And when you touched my hand
I knew you were the man
To turn my world around
And make my dreams come true
The magic in your eyes
Made me realize
That everything I feel
Has got to be real
And we danced and fell in love
On a slow jam

I'm trying to find someone who
I can give my good lovin' to
Never ever did I dream I'd find someone, yeah
Now I've been trying to find someone too
I prayed to heaven, and then I found you
I swear I fell in love the night you danced into my heart
Play another slow jam

This time make it sweet

Do you wanna slow jam
Play another slow jam
