Luther Vandross — Ill Let You Slide

[Verse 1] 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 Ah, but when I got there to my surprise There was another guy looking in your eyes [Chorus] 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 [Verse 2] 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] 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 morning 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, oh, I knew it, I knew it How could you do it? Slide, it's alright, huh, I'll let you slide tonight, I'll let you Slide, yeah yeah How could you do it? How could you do it? Slide, well alright, woo, I'll let you slide tonight [Bridge] I hired me a private eye To check 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, I've got some plans for you [Chorus] Making love by the moon can be mighty 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 [Outro] Get up, oooh, let's love, baby If you do it nice in the morning Then alright, I'll let you slide tonight Get up, ooh, let's love, baby If we do it twice in the morning Well alright, woo, I'll let you slide tonight Get up, ooh, let's love, baby Be my sugar and spice in the morning And alright, huh, I'll let you slide tonight Get up, ooh, let's love, baby If it's really nice in the morning It's alright, I'll let you slide tonight
