lyrics

"Slow It Down And Stay A While"
Written by Nakia - ©2012 KiaChia Songs (BMI)

If you got your mind made up and you're gonna leave
I'm hoping you're tagging your time.
Won't you take your sweet time?

Cuz I'm not quite ready to give you up just yet
I got more love to give, so much more love to give

Won't you please slow it down and turn around?
Don't you go running all over town!
Baby, won't you stay a while.
Baby, won't you stay a while.

Cuz if you got your bags packed, and you're tired of me bruising the back of your heard on your daddy's bed

Then go on and break my heart into a thousand pieces
And leave me lying here damned, with my heart in my hand

Won't you please slow it down and turn around?
Don't you go running all over town!
Baby, won't you stay a while.
Baby, won't you stay a while.

I know I hurt your feelings
All my wheeling and my dealing and my lies
Oh them tears flood your eyes
But baby I'm for real, and you know I seal the deal
And I'll always keep you satisfied

So if you got your mind up, and you're gonna leave I'm hoping you'll take your sweet time. Won't you take your sweet time?

Won't you please slow it down and turn around?
Don't you go running all over town!
Baby, won't you stay a while.
Baby, won't you stay a while.
