A#
Can we wait just a minute
        Cm7
Slow it down for a minute now baby
       Gm7
You're talkin' loud, you're wildin' out
      Cm7
Don't seem like my old lady
A#                            Cm7
Let's go and play the song we used to play
       Gm7
Can we reignite the flame
       Cm7
'Cause things just ain't the same

We can talk about the baby
We can talk until we're crazy
We can focus on it now
Or we can focus on it later
We can start another fight
We can argue and fuss all night
But I propose that we go to the floor
And we slow dance

Chorus:
                Gm7
Tonight I wanna dance
        Cm7               F7        A# Cm7
Can you do that with your man, yeah
                 Gm7
Tonight I wanna groove
            Cm7            F7  A#
And let the music make you move
Cm7   Gm7      Cm7 F7 A#
Move, yeah yeah

Can we wait just a minute
Turn that TV off for a minute
Now politics and talkin'
shit ain't really none of my business
Let's go and play the songs we used to play
On that old school radio
Let the music soothe your soul

Forget about the world
I'm groovin' with my girl
Forget about the news
Let's put on our dancin' shoes
Let's not talk about the war
Don't know what they're fightin' for
I propose that we go to the floor
And we slow dance

Chorus:
                Gm7
Tonight I wanna dance
        Cm7               F7        A# Cm7
Can you do that with your man, yeah
                 Gm7
Tonight I wanna groove
            Cm7            F7  A#
And let the music make you move
Cm7   Gm7      Cm7 F7 A#
Move, yeah yeah
Cm7   Gm7      Cm7 F7 A#
Move, yeah yeah

I love it, I love it, I love it
Slow dancin' together
I love it, I love it, I love it
Slow dancin' together
I love it, I love it, I love it
Slow dancin' together
I love it, I love it
I propose that we go to the floor
And we slow dance

Chorus:
Tonight I wanna dance
Can you do that with your man, yeah?
Tonight I wanna groove
And let the music make you move
Move, yeah yeah
Move, yeah yeah
