I'm Going Down Slow (feat. Wendell B)

What's happenin', everybody?

This is the Pretty Boy, Sir Charles Jones

And if y'all don't mind

I'd like to have about four and a half minutes of your time

To tell y'all about a bad mistake I made (yeah)

With a pretty little girl (yeah)

And ever since then, I've been goin' down slow, y'all

I'm goin' down (I'm goin' down so slow, baby)

Since you been gone (since you been gone)

Can you forgive me for doin' you wrong? (Doin' you wrong)

Them streets keep on callin', can you tell'em I'm not home? (Tell 'em I'm not home)

Gotta get my baby to come back through the words of this song (words of this song)

I can't sleep, I can't eat

Baby, since you've been gone (ain't no other way to explain it)

I've been goin' down slow (slow, slow, so slow), so slow

Now listen y'all

Runnin' all over these streets, yeah (you're runnin' these streets now, baby)

Knowin' I had a good thing (good thing) at home

That's why I don't blame you, pretty baby (I can't blame you)

For leavin' this guilty man alone

But oh, if you come back, baby

And forgive me for what I've done

Oh, I wanna hear the key turnin', baby

When the mornin' comes

When I'm slow

I'm too close to the limit (too close to the limit)

I can't take no more (no more, no more)

I'm almost at the finish (finish, finish)

Now listen

Too many games

When you know you got a good thing

But oh, let me tell you, girl

It only leads to heartaches and pain (heartaches and pain)

Today I want to go to see the preacher (the preacher man)

Down at the corner church (gotta go to church now, baby)

'Cause I need somebody to help me

Help me through all this pain and hurt

He told me, "You don't miss your water up 'til your world is dry"

I said, "Oh, help me, Mr. Preacher"

Have the tears fell from my eyes

Is my baby comin' back home? (Gotta get her back home now, babe)

Or was that the last time she walked out the door?

Or would you ask the Lord to have her forgive me?

'Cause without her, I'm goin' down so slow (I'm goin' down so slow)

So preacher, I'm standin' here beggin' you

Can't you see my heart is in my hand

A grown man that needs direction

Please help me understand

I'm goin' down slow (I'm goin' down slow, baby, since you been such an issue), slow

Can you find a way to forgive me for doin' you wrong? (Doin' you wrong)

Them streets keep on callin'

(Tell 'em I'm goin' home) Please forgive me baby

(Words of this song)

For all the wrong I've done (ain't no other way to explain it)

I'm so sorry (doin' you wrong)

I know I was a foolish man, baby (Ain't no other way to explain it)

Oh (I'm goin' down so slow, baby, since you've been so sure)

Said I'm goin' down slow (can you find a way to forgive me for doin' you wrong?)

Said my eyes are rainin', rainin', rainin' (tell 'em I'm not holdin' 'em)

Said I'm goin' down slow

(Words of this song) rainin' with tears (rainin' with tears)

Come on home, baby

Oh, baby, I'm sorry, yeah (so sorry, so sorry)

(Ain't no other way to explain it)

But I'm rainin' with tears, rainin' with tears (so sorry, so sorry)

Come on home, baby (ain't no other way to explain it)

Please forgive me, baby (so sorry, so sorry)

Come on home, baby

I'm goin' down slow (slow, slow, slow, slow, slow)

Ain't no other way to explain it

Goin' down slow (slow, slow)

The Pretty Boy (slow, slow)

Sir Charles Jones (ain't no other way to explain it)

(Slow, slow) please forgive me, baby
