I'LL LET YOU SLIDE
|
Luther Vandross and Marcus Miller
|
(album: BUSY BODY - 1983)
|
|
|
Back to back and side to side
|
There's only music on my mind
|
Nothing to worry about but the beat
|
I wanted you to come and dance with me
|
But you wanted to stay home and watch TV
|
Ahhh, but when I got there to my surprise
|
There was another guy looking into your eyes
|
|
Chorus I:
|
I don't want, don't want us to fuss and fight
|
From right now 'til tomorrow night
|
So if you promise to love only me and be by my side
|
I'll let you slide
|
|
Without a doubt tonight is the night
|
That we gon' really roll when the time is right
|
And we're gonna carry it into the dawn
|
Oh, but where are you, where can you be
|
I've been waiting, it seems an eternity
|
I took our favorite song from the record stack
|
It was Hey, Jimmy Mack
|
When are you coming back
|
|
Chorus II:
|
Well, I'm so disappointed you're gone tonight
|
'Cause your love is the spice of my life
|
But if you hurry back in the mornin'
|
Then alright, I'll let you slide tonight
|
Up and down, pacing round, walking in my sleep
|
'Cause you've got a promise to keep
|
You've got to come back
|
And love, love, love, love, love me right
|
And, huh, I'll let you slide tonight
|
|
Bridge:
|
I can't wait til tomorrow, baby
|
Can't you come over tonight
|
I can't get to sleep, my baby
|
Come and rock my cradle left to right
|
I tossed and turned and called you up
|
But there wasn't anybody home
|
It makes me sad, I need you bad
|
But I guess I'm just gonna have to wait until tomorrow comes
|
Slide, I knew it, I knew it
|
How could you do it
|
Slide, its alright, I'll let you slide tonight
|
|
I hired me a private eye
|
To ceck up on your cool little alibis
|
And what he discovered was woeful to me
|
Baby, if you intend to stay with me
|
Then you can't see the guys that I know you see
|
Come on, let's ake up and promise to start anew
|
Let's take the morning off, Ive got some plans for you
|
|
Chorus III:
|
Making love by the moon can be mitghty fine
|
But when the sun rises, so do I
|
So if you rock it to me in the mornnig
|
Then alright, I'll let you slide tonight
|
Really missed you today, I was on the run
|
So wake me up when the morning comes
|
I think I'll dance to some music and groove on the party light
|
And let you slide tonight
|
|
Fade
|
|
Get up, oooh, let's love baby
|
If you do it nice in the mornin'
|
Then alright, I'll let you slide tonight
|
|
Get up, ooh, let's love baby
|
If we do it twice in the mornin'
|
Well alright, I'll let you slide tonight
|
|
Get up, ooh, let's love baby
|
If it's really nice in the mornin'
|
It's alright, I'll let you slide tonight
|
