“We should take this back to my place” That’s what she said right to my face ‘Cause I want you bad Yeah, I want you, baby I’ve been thinking ’bout it all day And I hope you feel the same way, yeah ‘Cause I want you bad Yeah, I want you, baby
Slow, slow hands Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry No, no chance That I’m leaving here without you on me I, I know Yeah, I already know that there ain’t no stoppin’ Your plans and those Slow hands (woo) Slow hands
I just wanna take my time We could do this, baby, all night, yeah ‘Cause I want you bad Yeah, I want you, baby
Slow, slow hands Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry No, no chance That I’m leaving here without you on me I, I know Yeah, I already know that there ain’t no stoppin’ Your plans and those Slow hands (woo)
Fingertips puttin’ on a show Got me now and I can’t say no Wanna be with you all alone Take me home, take me home Fingertips puttin’ on a show Can’t you tell that I want you, baby, yeah
Slow hands Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry No, no chance That I’m leaving here without you on me I, I know Yeah, I already know that there ain’t no stoppin’ Slow hands Like sweat dripping down our dirty laundry No, no chance That I’m leaving here without you on me I, I know Yeah, I already know that there ain’t no stoppin’ Your plans and those slow hands (woo)
I was an unmarried girl I’d just turned twenty-seven When they sent me to the sisters For the way men looked at me Branded as a Jezebel I knew I was not bound for Heaven I’d be cast in shame Into the Magdalene laundries
Most girls come here pregnant Some by their own fathers Bridget got that belly by her parish priest We’re trying to get things white as snow All of us woe-begotten-daughters In the streaming stains Of the Magdalene laundries
Prostitutes and destitutes And temptresses like me Fallen women Sentenced into dreamless drudgery Why do they call this heartless place Our Lady of Charity? Oh, charity
These bloodless brides of Jesus If they had just once glimpsed their groom Then they’d know, and they’d drop the stones Concealed behind their rosaries They wilt the grass they walk upon They leech the light out of a room They’d like to drive us down the drain At the Magdalene laundries
Peg O’Connell died today She was a cheeky girl A flirt They just stuffed her in a hole! Surely to God you’d think at least some bells should ring! One day I’m going to die here too And they’ll plant me in the dirt Like some lame bulb That never blooms, come any spring Not any spring

Lyrics
If you, if you could return Don’t let it burn Don’t let it fade I’m sure I’m not being rude But it’s just your attitude It’s tearing me apart It’s ruining every day
I swore, I swore I would be true And honey so did you So why were you holding her hand? Is that the way we stand? Were you lying all the time? Was it just a game to you?
But I’m in so deep You know I’m such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
Oh, I thought the world of you I thought nothing could go wrong But I was wrong, I was wrong
If you, if you could get by Trying not to lie Things wouldn’t be so confused And I wouldn’t feel so used But you always really knew I just want to be with you
And I’m in so deep You know I’m such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
And I’m in so deep You know I’m such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
You know I’m such a fool for you You got me wrapped around your finger Do you have to let it linger? Do you have to, do you have to, do you have to let it linger?
You Know you make me feel better And I knew I Knew I knew When I was under the weather
Where did it all the time go? Where did it all the time go? It’s you It’s you It’s you
You Know you make me feel better I remembered the time when we were small Planting seeds, put it in ???quants?? I remembered the time when we were small We did it all But tell me Where did it all the time go? Where did it all the time go? It’s you It’s you It’s you You Know you make me feel better
It’s you It’s you It’s you You Know you make me feel better And I knew I Knew I knew When I was under the weather
Where did it all the time go? Where did it all the time go? It’s you It’s you It’s you You Know you make me feel better I remembered driving in that car Our destiny was never far I must have lost ten thousand times But We There But tell me Where did it all the time go? Where did it all the time go? It’s you It’s you It’s you You Know you make me feel better
I could not wait until I grown I could not wait until I grown I could not wait until I grown I could not wait until I grown
I could not wait until I knew I could not wait until I knew I could not wait until I knew I could not wait until I knew
I would love to go but that car Where Our destiny was never far I would love to go but that car But I can’t And come to me today that made me I wish those things away Still It’s you It’s you It’s you You Know you make me feel better Whatever you do Don’t wish your days away Whatever you do Take it easy today Take it easy today
