Slow Down

Beatles · Past Masters Volume One

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

Slow Down - Beatles

Recorded in 1964, "Slow Down" stands as a quintessential example of The Beatles' early rock and roll energy, featuring the band's signature harmonies and Paul McCartney's melodic lead. Originally released on the "Past Masters Volume One" compilation, the track captures the group's dynamic interplay between rhythm and melody that defined their mid-1960s sound. While often associated with their debut album, the recording's inclusion in archival releases highlights its significance in documenting the band's formative years. The song remains a staple of their discography, reflecting the raw enthusiasm and musical innovation that made them global icons during the height of the British Invasion.
