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
