Chaka Khan - Slow Dancin' Lyrics






I catch your reflection
Through smoke filled ayes
I begin my inspection
And I'm watchin' you
Your smooth syncopation
You synthesize
Your beatin' vibration
Makes me watchin' you

[Bridge:]
(And) If I smiled at you
Would you walk away
Or would you have this dance with me

Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
Yeah, just you and me, baby, oh babe

Something about your freaky ways
Gives me a shiver
I watch you
You're a smooth operator
With sexy eyes, in anticipation
I watch you (I watch you, too)

[Bridge]

Slow dancin' (Slow dancin')
(Slow dancin', slow dancin')
So fine (Slow dancin')
Oh baby, slow (Slow dancin')
And goin' low (Slow dancin')
Oh just you and me

Oh you dance with, oh you dance with
Oh you dance with, oh you dance with me
Just round and round, and dance slow

La la la slow, la la la dancin'

Slow dancin', slow dancin'
Slow dancin', just you and me, babe

Dance with me, dance with me, baby, oh
(Slow dancin') Let's go grindin'
Just you and me

Baby, just one slow dance
Baby, just one slow grind
Baby, let's get down low
And see what we will find
Baby, just one slow dance
Let's give it just one slow grind
Chaka just get down low
And see what we will find

[Bridge]

Dancin' (Slow dancin')
(Slow dancin', slow dancin')
Just you and me

(Slow dancin') Baby, let's dance
(Slow dancin') Baby, get slower
(Slow dancin') Try to get lower
(Slow dancin') You and me, babe
(Slow dancin') Baby, let's dance
(Slow dancin') Baby, get slower
(Slow dancin') Try to get lower
(Slow dancin') Let's go grindin'

  14. 6.... ....

    I will never 4get when this came out I ran out and bought the lp and played the hell outta it. This is one lp that is timeless , as so many of Chaka's music is. I cant believe some people never heard this b4. They played this on the radio here in AZ all the time back in the day. And by the way there was a 12" version .

  15. E.... ....

    Two of my favorite Rock 'n Soul artists on one song. Yes, I'm feeling this.

    E.... ....

    Been feeling this joint since i first heard it back in 80's R I P Rick James

  16. Y.... B....

    Classic from two of the best to ever do it

  17. T.... B....

    Two of my favorites doing the damn thing

  18. M.... ....

    We always thought they would be a good match so we couldn't believe when they cut this!

  19. S.... F....

    Memories....

  20. V.... L....

    That Bass and the 80’s feeling with hard funk! The 80’s was all about funk!

  21. G.... B....

    I Love this jam right here

  22. W.... P....

    Mixed by the Bomb Squad of Public Enemy fame!!!

    W.... P....

    William P Scott really i did not know that as long as I've been listening to this song i had no idea

  23. A.... M....

    My Kind of Punk Funk too! I missed this somehow! I Love Chaka Khan!
    Those pipes & still so Talented! <3
    I Had the Pleasure to meet and spend Quality time with Rick James ( Rip) 1983/4
    He taught me alot!
    I´m happy that this Generation understand just how talented of a person he was. Not all that `Chappelle `Bitc& kind of play! A genius Producer too! Maybe the best <3
    Respect & Thank you for posting

  24. C.... D....

    This use to be my ISH , I was like a bad lil girl in the 80's all I wanted to do was run away and be the baddest hooker Eva with the flyest pimp ( sigh ) never happened booy was I a miseducated kid !!!

  25. m.... ....

    I always loved this sexy A$$ song!

  26. A.... N....

    shaka khan will always rock a rare classic feat.The Late Great Rick James this truely is a classic.

  27. N.... ....

    If you dont have the chaka album this song is on one the last smooth groove v/a collections

  28. d.... c....

    Classic jam

  29. T.... ....

    This song will grow on you!

  30. I.... U....

    Fire track

  31. B.... B....

    Not to worry, Ronnie Coleman, you'll be glad to know that the album shown above won album of the year 1984, and Chaka and the producer , Arif Marden, got awards.

    B.... B....

    I genuinely hope that you mind correction,but I'm massively certain about the fact of... that album came out in 1982, just for the record...I love this album,and of course this song.

    B.... B....

    +Joe Thomas Yes, I know. I made a mistake regarding when she won the award. It was 1983 not 1984.

    B.... B....

    correction 1982

    B.... B....

    Damn! Didn't know it won album of the year. Arif Marden of Turkish ancestry produced a lot of classic funk tunes. RIP Arif.

  32. L.... �....

    Check out, "burns - disko"

  33. L.... V....

    According to Rick James's Autobiography Warner Bros hated this song and it was never put out as a single.

    L.... V....

    I know What in the world is wrong with this song?

    L.... V....

    +Laura Veney I do believe this song is in fact actually a cover, the original was by Loz Netto. Possibly another reason why a video was never made ^^

    L.... V....

    No I do not think it is a cover. Rick wrote this to perform with Chaka Khan and he said in his book that Warner Brothers did not want the song released as a single. I remember it received a lot of airplay on RnB stations but it was not a 45 

    L.... V....

    Single or not, radio played the heck out of it in D.C.

    L.... V....

    Wow didn't know that

  34. r.... c....

    Loved this song for years.  I was always a big Rick fan as well as Chaka.  Both of them were master arrangers.  Chaka arranged vocals for Robert Palmer and Steve Windwood, Check her out on "Higher Love." Together with Rick on this tune they perfectly blended their musical sensibilities.

  35. M.... B....

    Heard this for the first time last time!

    M.... B....

    My first time #today

  36. j.... c....

    * for over

  37. j.... c....

    I have enjoyed Chaka Khan poverty 30yrs, I've never heard this until now!

  38. M.... B....

    My kinda Funk.

  39. n.... ....

    Forever Fire!!!

  40. E.... P....

    Rick James was real with soul not like these fake crap rappers today.

  41. s.... ....

    Up high, man. The photo is by Francesco Scavullo. scavullo[dot]com

  42. s.... ....

    I grew up with Chaka and when a song is in the pocket, it stays there through the decades. RIP, Rick.

  43. M.... ....

    Love this song, I heard it for the first time Feb 2013!!

  44. W.... T....

    This song is BADDDDDD!!!! I was done when I heard this back in High School in 1982!

  45. b.... ....

    Thank you for posting this...i loved this album!!! played it until it grooved out.

  46. A.... C....

    Love it

  47. W.... T....

    This song is FIRE!!!

  48. b.... ....

    @biged me to bro

  49. R.... C....

    It blows my mind that music of this incredible quality only has 18,000 hits while some run of the mill crap has 22,000,000. Sheeet. This album--I used to have it on cassette in 1982--is fantastic. The players, the arrangements, and of course, Chaka Khan's voice. Too bad the record companies never saw fit to put this album out on CD. It's probably one of her best.

  50. C.... B....

    very best

  51. s.... m....

  60. J.... D....

    @Blueskywatcher Not only I agree with you, but I'll go a few steps further. Slurs of any kind should be eliminated from our vocabulary! UB

  61. B.... ....

    @uptownbronze I see. No like racial slurs of any kind. Thanks.

  62. B.... ....

    @onecharlotte NOOOOO!!! Let's not call ourselves those things. You are mad cool.

  69. h.... ....

    This song was deemed by some as too sensual for radio stations to play back in the 80's. But many urban areas played it and those who heard it, love it.
