Song Lyrics

I`LL LET YOU SLIDE
Luther Vandross and Marcus Miller
(album: BUSY BODY - 1983)


Back to back and side to side
There`s only music on my mind
Nothing to worry about but the beat
I wanted you to come and dance with me
But you wanted to stay home and watch TV
Ahhh, but when I got there to my surprise
There was another guy looking into your eyes

Chorus I:
I don`t want, don`t want us to fuss and fight
From right now `til tomorrow night
So if you promise to love only me and be by my side
I`ll let you slide

Without a doubt tonight is the night
That we gon` really roll when the time is right
And we`re gonna carry it into the dawn
Oh, but where are you, where can you be
I`ve been waiting, it seems an eternity
I took our favorite song from the record stack
It was Hey, Jimmy Mack
When are you coming back

Chorus II:
Well, I`m so disappointed you`re gone tonight
`Cause your love is the spice of my life
But if you hurry back in the mornin`
Then alright, I`ll let you slide tonight
Up and down, pacing round, walking in my sleep
`Cause you`ve got a promise to keep
You`ve got to come back
And love, love, love, love, love me right
And, huh, I`ll let you slide tonight

Bridge:
I can`t wait til tomorrow, baby
Can`t you come over tonight
I can`t get to sleep, my baby
Come and rock my cradle left to right
I tossed and turned and called you up
But there wasn`t anybody home
It makes me sad, I need you bad
But I guess I`m just gonna have to wait until tomorrow comes
Slide, I knew it, I knew it
How could you do it
Slide, its alright, I`ll let you slide tonight

I hired me a private eye
To ceck up on your cool little alibis
And what he discovered was woeful to me
Baby, if you intend to stay with me
Then you can`t see the guys that I know you see
Come on, let`s ake up and promise to start anew
Let`s take the morning off, Ive got some plans for you

Chorus III:
Making love by the moon can be mitghty fine
But when the sun rises, so do I
So if you rock it to me in the mornnig
Then alright, I`ll let you slide tonight
Really missed you today, I was on the run
So wake me up when the morning comes
I think I`ll dance to some music and groove on the party light
And let you slide tonight

Fade

Get up, oooh, let`s love baby
If you do it nice in the mornin`
Then alright, I`ll let you slide tonight

Get up, ooh, let`s love baby
If we do it twice in the mornin`
Well alright, I`ll let you slide tonight

Get up, ooh, let`s love baby
If it`s really nice in the mornin`
It`s alright, I`ll let you slide tonight
