She takes her time when it's time to get ready
   D            C   
Always has her way 
  D                 C             D      C
Always leaves me waiting by the phone
     D                         C
She told me more than once to take it slow
     D       C
And I said okay
     D                C         D
But lately I've been sleeping alone
C
Whoa, Whoa
G                 A             G                 A

G       A     A#   A
Baby, please come home
       D                        C  
And I feel a little lucky so I try to play it cool
     D               C
I think she laughs inside
           D                   C           D      C
With the words that burn like fire in my mouth
 D                      C
Try to be a man like I got the master plan
D                 C
Night out on the town
  D                   C                D
A drink and dance and we can turn it out
C
Whoa, Whoa
G                     A           G          A
Maybe it's how your body moves I just don't know
            G                A   A#  A
Maybe it's just the way you move so slow
D C D C (repeated through phone call)
D             C
Ask me why I play myself
      D           C
Play myself for a fool
D                   C           D    C
Swear that I would do most anything, hey huh!
D             C
Walk a mile to see her smile
D                  C
Walk a mile just to rock for a while
   D                   C             D

       G                 A  A#  A
Maybe just the way you move so slow
D                C        D      C
Maybe cause you move so slow
D                C        D      C
Maybe cause you move so slow

Wind up your body like a bass line wild

Drink and dance and we can turn it out
