Takashi Matsumoto and Yoshitaka Minami, English lyric Ralph McCarthy)



Won't you hold me close, little girl

One more time before you go

You know I've been good to you baby

You may be sorry one day



I won't beg for another chance

But why must you hurry so?

All I ask is for one more dance

Before I just let you slip away



Make it a slow slow boogie

With a steady, easy roll

Something groovable to rock away

The blues deep in my soul



I know you've been wounded before

And I know you're not to blame

But sometimes everyone has to lose

It's just a crazy part of the game



Make it a slow slow boogie

Make it last the whole night long

Let me dream that I won't wake up

Tomorrow to find you gone



Won't you close your eyes, little girl

If I shed a tear or two

And though I might be losing you tonight

I don't know what I'm supposed to do, pretty baby

My slow boogie baby, my groovable, loseable

Mamamajamama, oh yeah, oh yeah
