beat of a slow dance

My heart beats just like the speed of a slow dance (my heart beats slow)
One step at a time, that's how we should take this romance (and that's all I know)
Around this tempo, steady and sure like a slow dance (slow dance)
The rhythm of my feelings rocks back and forth
Like a slow dance (slow dance, slow dance)

I think there's a chance for us to get it right
Be patient with it if this love is to survive
'Cause what's the rush? Ain't nothing wrong with taking our time
I'd just like to make sure we are aligned

All this runnin' 'round will leave you left behind
(I wanna)
Take the steps to keep you by my side
(Come on and)
Put your hand in mine and I can show you how (yeah)
We can move (yeah), I wanna move (yeah)
But

My heart beats just like the speed of a slow dance (like a slow dance)
One step at a time (one step)
That's how we should take this romance (romance, around)
Around this tempo (yeah)
Steady and sure (steady)
Like a slow dance (slow dance, the rhythm of my)
The rhythm of my feelings rocks back and forth (it rocks back and forth)
Like a slow dance (slow dance)

(Steady) in rotation, yeah and when the moment's right
(We can) let the rhythm of it take us through the night
(Come close and) put your lips on mine I'll savor it like wine (wine)
We can't make this up
It must be by design (all)

All this runnin' 'round will leave you left behind (all this runnin' round)
(I wanna) I wanna take
Take the steps to keep you by my side (the steps to keep)
(Come on and)
Put your hand in mine and I can show you how (put your hand in mine)
We can move (yeah), I wanna move (yeah)

But my heart beats just like the speed of a slow dance (oh and one step)
One step at a time (at a time)
That's how we should take this romance (we should take this romance around)
Around this tempo (oh)
Steady and sure (steady)
Like a slow dance (slow dance)
The rhythm of my feelings rocks back and forth
Like a slow dance (slow dance)

(My) my heart beats (oh, my heart)
Just like the speed of a slow dance (like a slow dance)
One step at a time (a time)
That's how we should take this romance (romance, oh)
Around this tempo
Steady and sure like a slow dance
The rhythm of my feelings rocks back and forth
Like a slow dance
