Available on the album the complete thom bell sessions

We can spend the night right
So honey turn out the lights
And do it nice and slow
Do it nice and slow

You can work on a charm
And tell the man in your arms
To do it nice and slow
Do it nice and slow


Lying here in a way that i have always wanted
Close to you in a scene that i have always haunted
Time and time again we defended a right to cling to
Our love-shy goodbyes, for broken hearts could cry


You can do it, you can do it slow
You can do it slow, slow, slow
You can do it slow, slow
Do it nice and slow


You can turn on the heat
To keep a man on the streets
When you do it nice and slow
I like it when you do it nice and slow


You can work on a spell
And weave your magic so well
When you do it nice and slow
Come on and do it nice and slow


You can do it, you can do it i know
You can do it nice and slow
You can do it, you can do it
You can do it nice and slow, slow
I like it when you do it slow, slow


Come on and do it
Do it nice and slow

Suzie walks her dog but it don't solve
All the mysteries
Hanging with the guys, making with the guys
Playing hard to please

Back in '63, she was made for me
We were having fun
Wasn't long before i could not ignore
She's about hanging out
Campus queen dreams shattered years ago
And i'm the one who knows


It's the same country love song
Different words, a different melody
It's the same country love song


Mama said to me, john you got to be
Honest to yourself
Keeping up the pace, losing in the race
Further on the shelf


I want to write a country love song, tell them nothing's wrong
Suzie did my heart
There is nothing more, something said before
C'est la vie, mon cherie
Lady luck, me and sexy so-and-so
And i'm the one who knows

Released as a uk single in 1979

Catch a star if you can
Wish for something special
Let it be me, my love is free
Sing a song to yourself
Think of someone listening
One melody, you're all for me

I'll write a symphony just for you and me
If you let me love you, i'll paint a masterpiece
Just for you to see
If you let me love you, let me love you


Are you ready, are you ready for love
Yes i am
Are you, are you ready, are you ready for love
Yes i am
Are you, are you ready, are you ready for love


You're the one like the sun
Shine your love around me
You'll always be the one for me


Say the word and i'll be there
Loving you forever
Don't let me go
Just say it's so


We'll hear the music ring from the mountain tops
To the valley below us
We'll serenade the world
With a lullaby so the angels will know us
Angels will know us
