  • Yea, sing it with me y'all, oh yea yea

    Can we wait just a minute
    Slow it down for a minute now baby
    Your talkin' loud
    Your wilding out
    Don't seem like my old lady
    Lets go and play the song we used to play
    Can we reignite the flame
    'Cause things just ain't the same

    We can talk about the baby
    We can talk until we're crazy
    We can focus on it now
    Or we can focus on it later
    We can start another fight
    We can argue and fuss all night
    But I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance

    Tonight I wanna dance
    Can you do that with you man yea
    Tonight I wanna groove
    And let the music make you move
    Move yea

    Can we wait just a minute
    Turn that TV off for a minute
    Now politics and talkin' shit ain't really none of my business
    Lets go and play the songs we used to play
    On that old school radio
    Let the music soothe your soul

    Forget about the world
    I'm groovin' with my girl
    Forget about the news
    Lets put on our dancin' shoes
    Lets not talk about the war
    Do we know what they fightin' for
    I propose that we go to the floor and we slow dance

    Tonight I wanna dance
    Can you do that with you man yea
    Tonight I wanna groove
    And let the music make you move, move
    Move yea yea
    Move yea yea

    I love it
    I love it
    I love it we're slow dancin' together
    I love it
    I love it
    I love it we're slow dancin' together
    I love it
    I love it
    I love it we're slow dancin' together
    I love it
    I love it I propose that we go to floor and we slow dance

    Tonight I wanna dance
    Can you do that with your man yea
    Tonight I wanna groove
    Let the music make you move Writer/s: ESTELLE SWARAY, JOHN ROGER STEPHENS, LA CHARLES HARPER, RICHARD CORNELIUS POINDEXTER, ROBERT EUGENE POINDEXTER, WILL ADAMS

  • Goddyss from Detroit, MiSong uses the same samples that Amy Winehouse uses for " He Can Only Hold Her"
  • Nikki from Chicago, IlYeah Lori, I was there, that was at Madison Square Garden, I was cheering you on when you took his shirt off (lol). I met you in Philly a few months later at the Kings & Queens Bash, do you remember? Back to this song, this is the single of John Legend's "Live From Philadelphia" that was release exclusively at Target stores on January 15, 2008.
  • Sheila from Macon, GaLove It! Saw him on Ellen performing this song!
  • Lori from Brooklyn, NyYup, Nikki is right! I was the first one on stage in New York! It's well worth it!
  • Nikki from Chicago, IlWhen John Legend performs this song in concert, he picks a girl from the audience,pulls her on stage with him and they slow dance. It's a great highlight during his shows.
