Intro

       

Verse 1

Music has charms they say 
But in some people's hands
It becomes a savage beast 
Can't they control it 
Why don't they hold it back

Verse 2

You see my friend and me 
Don't have an easy day
And at night we dance not fight 
We need the energy 
If not the sympathy

Bridge

But I'm brutalized by bass
And terrorized by treble
I'm open to change my mood but
I always get caught in the middle

Chorus

And I get tired of DJ's
Why is it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through
I'm gonna tell him too
Tell him to play us
Play us a slow song   
Play us a slow song   
Play us a slow song   
Play us a slow song   

Verse 3

It's late- I'm winding down 
Am I the only one
To want a strong and silent sound 
To pick me up and undress me
Lay me down and caress me

Verse 4

I feel your touch my hand 
And whisper in my ear
Ask me how I'm feeling now  
And I want to get near you
But I can't even hear you

Bridge 2

But this is a fine romance
If we have to be so demanding
We need just one more dance to
Leave here with an understanding

Chorus

And I get tired of DJ's
Why is it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through
I'm gonna tell him too
Tell him to play us
Play us a slow song   
Play us a slow song   
Play us a slow song   
Play us a slow song   

Solo

  
  
  
  
 

Chorus

And I get tired of DJ's
Why is it always what he plays
I'm gonna push right through
I'm gonna tell him too
Tell him to play us
Play us a slow song   
Play us a slow song   
Play us a slow song   
Play us a slow song
