Slow Dance Romance

Janis Ian

Slow dance, romance
Put your arms around me
You make me feel so old
Take me to the drive-in movie
Won't you move me, now?
before I get too cold
Popcorn serenader,
won't you take her down easy
You make her feel like gold
Midnight crusader,
when you take her easily,
make her feel like gold

Boom town, hoe-down
Run across the track, don't look back
Just lay low
Party pants running romance interference
Got to make appearance
sooner or later, I'm told
Slow dance promenader
Want to make her feel easy,
make her feel like gold
Midnight crusader,
when you take it easy,
you make it feel like gold

What a line. Was a long time
Wasn't moonshine, wasn't whiskey,
wasn't even party glow
Got no looks, wasn't half-hooked
Must've been some kind of book they took
that showed ‘em where to go
Midnight persuader,
got to break this town down slow
Moonlight serenader,
when you make it easy,
you make it feel like gold
