[Intro – thick bass pulse, Hammond organ, dirty guitar]
[Female backing – breathy hum]
Mmmmmm…
Come here, baby…
[Lead – gravelly male]
I see that look.
Don’t make me guess.
[Verse 1]
You crossed that floor like you owned the night,
Red lips shining underneath low light.
Hooked one finger, pulled me your way,
Didn’t need a single word to say—
Come a little closer, follow my lead,
I know exactly what you’re gonna need.
Then your hands found mine, pulled ’em in,
And that old guitar started crying again.
[Female backing]
Mmm…
That’s right…
[Pre-Chorus – drums drag behind the beat]
You said,
“Don’t move fast…
Just move with me.”
Lord knows, baby,
That’s where I wanna be.
[Chorus – slow heavy blues groove]
Slow hands,
Take your time with me.
Move that body
To the rhythm underneath.
Slow hands,
Keep me close tonight.
We ain’t gotta hurry
When the feeling’s right.
Let that bass roll low,
Let that six-string cry—
Baby, keep those slow hands
Right here tonight.
[Instrumental – dirty guitar bends, Hammond answers]
[Verse 2]
Your cheek brushed mine as the room disappeared,
That little laugh whispered against my ear.
Every slow turn pulled me deeper inside
That dangerous rhythm neither could hide.
Your eyes said plenty, your smile said more,
While our shadows moved across the floor.
Everybody watching faded away,
There was only you and the blues being played.
[Female backing – breathy]
Mmmmmm…
Don’t stop…
[Lead]
Wasn’t planning on it.
[Chorus]
Slow hands,
Take your time with me.
Move that body
To the rhythm underneath.
Slow hands,
Keep me close tonight.
We ain’t gotta hurry
When the feeling’s right.
Let that bass roll low,
Let that six-string cry—
Baby, keep those slow hands
Right here tonight.
[Bridge – Hammond organ, heartbeat drums]
[Lead – low]
You know what you’re doing…
[Female backing – whispered]
Maybe I do.
[Lead]
Then don’t change a damn thing.
[Guitar bends and hangs]
[Breakdown – bass forward, drums extremely slow]
Left…
Right…
Pull me close.
Nice…
And slow…
That’s how it goes.
No talking now,
Just follow that sound.
Let the blues take hold
While the lights burn down.
[Female backing]
Slow hands…
Mmm… slow hands…
[Final Chorus – guitar opens up]
Slow hands,
Take your time with me.
Move that body
To the rhythm underneath.
Slow hands,
Don’t let go tonight,
Keep that fire burning
Underneath these lights.
Let that Hammond moan,
Let that six-string cry—
Baby, keep those slow hands
Right here tonight.
[Outro – long guitar bend]
[Female backing]
Mmmmmm…
[Lead – gravelly whisper]
Slow down, baby…
We got all night.
