Won't you hold me close, little girl
One more time before you go
You know I've been good to you baby
You may be sorry one day

I won't beg for another chance
But why must you hurry so?
All I ask is for one more dance
Before I just let you slip away

      Make it a slow slow boogie
      With a steady, easy roll
      Something groovable to rock away
      The blues deep in my soul

I know you've been wounded before
And I know you're not to blame
But sometimes everyone has to lose
It's just a crazy part of the game

      Make it a slow slow boogie
      Make it last the whole night long
      Let me dream that I won't wake up
      Tomorrow to find you gone

Won't you close your eyes, little girl
If I shed a tear or two
And though I might be losing you tonight
I don't know what I'm supposed to do, pretty baby
My slow boogie baby, my groovable, loseable
Mamamajamama, oh yeah, oh yeah
