Lets take it slow relax a little

As a matter of fact lets take it black
Proposing to revisit the beginning of their relationship.
To the very first time I had your back
Recalling the first time the singer supported their partner.
We shared a cab
Sharing a cab with the partner.
Shared a glass
Sharing a drink together.
Shared a laugh and I kissed your ass
Recalling a lighthearted moment of kissing.
Kissed your lips, after class
Remembering kissing after a class.
We both had history after math

Passive notes teacher askin for em I read em out loud to the class like a poem or a rap

Say it like I mean it with by big toe tap
Expressing sincerity with a toe tap.
Head gonna bop back and forth like that

And if you like what you here you can meet me out back..out back
Inviting the partner to meet outside if they like the vibe.
