Make It A Slow Boogie Lyrics

(Takashi Matsumoto and Yoshitaka Minami, English lyric Ralph McCarthy)

Won't you hold me close, little girl
One more time before you go
You know I've been good to you baby
You may be sorry one day

I won't beg for another chance
But why must you hurry so?
All I ask is for one more dance
Before I just let you slip away

      Make it a slow slow boogie
      With a steady, easy roll
      Something groovable to rock away
      The blues deep in my soul

I know you've been wounded before
And I know you're not to blame
But sometimes everyone has to lose
It's just a crazy part of the game

      Make it a slow slow boogie
      Make it last the whole night long
      Let me dream that I won't wake up
      Tomorrow to find you gone

Won't you close your eyes, little girl
If I shed a tear or two
And though I might be losing you tonight
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, pretty baby
My slow boogie baby, my groovable, loseable
Mamamajamama, oh yeah, oh yeah
