Slow Song

© 2007 Lyrics: Leigh Mullis, Music: Steve Hacker

You were mine for a while. Now it?s hard to force a smile. Because since you?ve been gone all I can do is sing this song.

[Chorus]

Did you think this?d be a slow slow song after all the times you did me wrong?
Well baby hate to break it to ya but it?s not breakin? by heart by far.
If you don?t think I don?t care about you, well there?s something you should know.
If you?d a treated me right baby this song would be slow.

[Verse 1]

I?m done cryin?. I?m sleepin? easy. I planned a trip to Mexico.
I go out and party every Friday. My girls really put on a show.
I make eyes to the guy at the bar. His grin?s really cute and he?s got a nice car.
He might just be the one to steal my heart now that we?re apart.

[Chorus]

[Verse 2]

I write slow songs for the good boys who know how to treat a woman right.
The kind that don?t go cheatin? or up and leavin?.
Ones that?ll hold me on through the night.
Now that you said it and it?s over and done, I bet your missin? all the fun,
That we had when I thought you were the one
Now the party has begun.

[Chorus]

?I need a good boy who?ll treat me nice and sweet. A man who?s so good there?s no need to compete. But he?ll need a good broom to sweep me off my feet and make my life complete.

[Chorus]

If you?d a treated me right baby this song would be slow.
