Falling Fast (In a Slow Dance)
I remember saying,
What's a girl like you doing in a dive like this?
You laughed when I told you I was jealous
Of that margarita kissing your lips
Then you dropped a couple quarters in the jukebox
And on came Purple Rain
We were the only two out on that floor that night
And I remember thinking
Round and round and round and round we go
Where we'll end up, only heaven knows
By the time that song was over
I knew I didn't stand a chance
I was falling fast in a slow dance
We sat there and talked all night
Till they kicked us out
We took a cab back to your place
Yeah we laugh about it now
You threw on some Marvin Gaye on the stereo, a little Sexual Healing
Feeling like the only two people in the world
And I remember thinking
Round and round and round and round we go
Where we'll end up, only heaven knows
By the time that song was over
I knew I didn't stand a chance
I was falling fast in a slow dance
Tonight, as we sway around this room
It takes me back to that first time
I first laid eyes on you
It was margaritas and Purple Rain
A one-room apartment and Marvin Gaye
Hearts on fire
Wild desire
Skin on skin
I'll never forget
Round and round and round and round we go
Where we'll end up, only heaven knows
By the time that song was over
I knew I didn't stand a chance
I was falling fast in a slow dance
What's a girl like you doing in a dive like this?
You laughed when I told you I was jealous
Of that margarita kissing your lips
Then you dropped a couple quarters in the jukebox
And on came Purple Rain
We were the only two out on that floor that night
And I remember thinking
Round and round and round and round we go
Where we'll end up, only heaven knows
By the time that song was over
I knew I didn't stand a chance
I was falling fast in a slow dance
We sat there and talked all night
Till they kicked us out
We took a cab back to your place
Yeah we laugh about it now
You threw on some Marvin Gaye on the stereo, a little Sexual Healing
Feeling like the only two people in the world
And I remember thinking
Round and round and round and round we go
Where we'll end up, only heaven knows
By the time that song was over
I knew I didn't stand a chance
I was falling fast in a slow dance
Tonight, as we sway around this room
It takes me back to that first time
I first laid eyes on you
It was margaritas and Purple Rain
A one-room apartment and Marvin Gaye
Hearts on fire
Wild desire
Skin on skin
I'll never forget
Round and round and round and round we go
Where we'll end up, only heaven knows
By the time that song was over
I knew I didn't stand a chance
I was falling fast in a slow dance
