[Intro: R. Kelly]
Slow dance, slow
Slow dance, slow dance
Slow, slow

[Verse 1: R. Kelly]
Hey, Mr. DJ
Why don’t you slow this party down
The ladies in here are fly
And there’s one who’s caught my eye

[Pre-Chorus: R. Kelly]
I wanna pull her close to me
And whisper sweet things in her ear, oh, yeah
'Cause tonight I’m full of fire, baby
And you’re the only one my heart desires

[Chorus: Public Announcement & (R. Kelly)]
You’re the only one I wanna slow dance with
(Girl, you’re the only one, hey Mr. DJ, why don’t you slow this party down)
You’re the only one I wanna slow dance with
(Ooh, let the record spin, now baby, take my hand, oh)

[Verse 2: R. Kelly]
Let the music play
'Cause I wanna get it on
Put your arms around me, baby
And let’s start a slow grind, grind
[Pre-Chorus: R. Kelly]
I’m gonna rock and roll and rock it all night long, baby, baby
What you’re giving me is a feeling so strong, so strong
Feel my nature rise, girl
I’m gonna make you feel good tonight, you’re the only one

[Chorus: Public Announcement & (R. Kelly)]
You’re the only one I wanna slow dance with
(I wanna slow dance with you, baby, DJ, let the record spin around real nice and slow, yeah)
You’re the only one I wanna slow dance with
(Baby, let’s slow dance, right now, all you gotta do is take my hand and let me, woo)

[Bridge: Public Announcement & R. Kelly]
Let me lead you to the middle of the floor, oh baby
I’ll put my arms around you and I won’t let go
Slow, oh, oh

[Chorus: Public Announcement & (R. Kelly)]
You’re the only one I wanna slow dance with
(With you and only you, hey girl, come and take my hand)
You’re the only one I wanna slow dance with
(Run and tell the DJ to put a nickel on the needle so the record won’t budge)

[Outro: R. Kelly]
See, it’s one o’clock in the morning
And the party’s just beginnin’, yeah
And I wanna slow dance with you, baby, before the night is through
See, I’ve been watchin’ you
And I know you’ve been watching me, too
