I was all alone

I was feeling rather low

I needed someone to lift my spirits up

So i dropped it on a dance

Just to take a glance

And there this lovely thing was

She was more than enough



I asked her for her hand

Said would you like to dance

So pleased that i had asked

She quickly took my hand

And we danced and fell in love

On a slow jam



Play another slow jam

This time make it sweet

On a slow jam

For my baby and for me

Play another slow jam

This time make it sweet

On a slow jam



Seems what you say is true

I feel the same way too

I waited all night long

Just to dance with you

And when you touched my hand

I knew you were the man

To turn my world around

And make my dreams come true



The magic in your eyes

Made me realize

That everything i feel

Has got to be real

And we danced and fell in love

On a slow jam

I'm trying to find someone who

I can give my good lovin' to

Never ever did i dream i'd find someone, yeah



Now i've been trying to find someone too

I prayed to heaven, and then i found you

I swear i fell in love the night you danced into my heart



Play another slow jam

This time make it sweet

On a slow jam

Can i get a slow jam

Do you wanna slow jam, baby

Play another slow jam

This time make it sweet

On a slow jam

Can i get a slow jam

Do you wanna slow jam

Play another slow jam

Are you gonna slow jam
