Slow Down
Williams

Lyrics:
Well, come on pretty baby won't you walk with me
Come on pretty baby won't you talk with me
Come on pretty baby give me one more chance
Try and save our romance
Slow down

Baby, now you're moving way too fast
You gotta gimme little loving
gimme little loving
Ow, if you want our love to last

Well I used to walk you home baby after school
Carry your books home, too
But now you got a boyfriend down the street
Baby what're you trying to do a do
You better slow down

Baby, now you're moving way too fast
You gotta gimme little loving
gimme little loving
Brrr, if you want our love to last

Well you know that I love you, tell the world I do
Come on pretty baby, why can't you be true
I need you badly, baby, oh so bad
The best little woman I ever had
Slow down

Baby, now you're moving way too fast
You gotta gimme little loving
gimme little loving
Ow, if you want our love to last 		Availability:

What Goes On? Anomalies

Whole track * NEW *
Ride cymbal sound phases oddly in the right channel, maybe from headphone leakage in the vocal track, and Lennon moving back and forth on the microphone.
0:07,0:10,0:25 * NEW *
Click sounds, the first two are a vocal "lip smacking"/gum chewing noise.
0:45,1:02,2:27,2:29,2:45 * NEW *
Piano is out of sync (comes in early, usually) with the backing. This is an overdub by George Martin at a later stage.
1:14-1:17 * NEW *
Piano (right) stops abruptly and recommences for no apparent reason, allegedley this is connected with the boy/gurr edit below.
1:15
One voice sings "Now you've got a boyfriend down the street". Another sings "gurr" as in "girlfriend" (!) and seems to stumble over the "down the street" part.
Note: I did not write or compile these anomalies. Please don't email me with new anomalies and please read the WGO Info page.
