Candi Staton - Breaking Down Slow Lyrics

Little by little
You're breaking me down
Slowly but surely
You got me turning around
Like a rock in the river
Shaped by the flow, oh yeah
Opening up my heart babe
I'm breaking down slow

I tried to fight
There ain't no use
No way to hide it
The truth is the truth
You got me tumbling
In love's undertow
Oh yeah
I think I'm falling in love with you babe
I'm breaking down slow

You're breaking me down slow
From the walls that surround me
The feeling gets stronger
When your arm's around me
At first I didn't want to
Now I want you so
My heart is open
You're breaking me down slow

Oh yeah
My heart is open for you babe
You're breaking down slow
Oh yes you are
My heart is open
And breaking down slow
Oh yeah
Lord, please have mercy
Lord, please have mercy
You're breaking me down
Breaking me down
Just keep on loving me baby
If you just keep on loving me yeah
You're breaking me down
You're breaking me
You're breaking me
You're breaking me
You're breaking me
You're breaking me

Just keeping loving me like you're loving me
Hold me like you hold me
Speaking to me like you speaking to me baby
Calling me sweet names, oh, oh

You're breaking me down
You're breaking me down
You're breaking me slow
