Bruce Springsteen lyrics -- Bruce Springsteen shows -- Bruce Springsteen records

Song title: Goin' down slow


Goin' down slow

I feel you breathin' real low
I feel your heart beatin', well a beatin' real slow
Well I oughta be leavin', but mama you got it so I just can't get up and go
Well this makes us even, makes us even woman that you know
Woman you know
Well I set the fire and your the first to go
It's gettin higher and I'm gonna watch
Watch it goin' down slow
Said I'm getta get up and watch it goin' down slow

I said woman you made the thorns and projections
And she comes with a long long list, mass of directions
Any man is full, full of bloody dissections
And she leaves behind a body of long long list of human rejections
Yes she does
Whoa she does
Yeah she does
Well I set the fire and your the first to go
It's gettin higher and I'm gonna watch
Watch it goin' down slow
Your gonna see me watch it goin' down slow

Well I feel you breathin' real low
I feel your heart beatin',a beatin' woman so slow
Well I oughta be leavin', woman got herself a man so I can't go
This makes us even, this makes us even woman you know
Come and get it
She's the best little woman I ever seen around
Just the kind of woman that puts'em down
The finest woman in the whole damn town
And the prettiest thing I've seen
I'm goin' down
She come and goin' down
She come and goin' down
The finest I seen in town
Whoa, gypsy woman got that spell on me
Whoa, gypsy woman got that spell on me
Whoa, ohhh

Well I set the fire and your the first to go
It's gettin higher and I'm gonna watch
Watch it goin' down slow
Watch it goin' down slow
I said goin' down
