(Boy what you know isn't what you know
And the pace is quickening and
Still your heart goes slow)

Chorus:
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slowly
And my heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow

Slow now that you're here
Differences gotta hold on me
Imma' let my hair down, my hair down
Baby I am here now, I'm here now
Trying to have no fear
When you run down this love 'til I break
Listen to me clear now, clear now
Baby, I am here now, I'm here now

Chorus:
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
Said my heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow

Now that you're free
Only you can bring me to my knees
Baby I'm falling, I'm falling
Can't you hear me calling, calling
Hey, yeah, yeah we're going too fast
Better slow down, boy make it all last
Waking in the deep night, the deep night
Baby, I don't feel like, I feel like

Chorus:
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
Said my heart beats slowly!
My heart beats slow
(When what you know isn't what you know
And the pace is quickening
Still your heart goes slow)
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow!

Come on, baby, touch my body (work it)
Never stop it! (work it)
I'm gonna ride it out for you
I've been waiting all day
Thinking 'bout you, baby
Love the way you make my heart move

Chorus: (x2)
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
Said my heart beats slowly!
My heart beats slow

(When what you know isn't what you know
And the pace is quickening
Still your heart goes slow)
My heart beats slowly
My heart beats slow
(When what you know isn't what you know
And the pace is quickening
Still your heart goes slow)
Slow, slow, slow

Tinashe Jorgenson Kachingwe, known mononymously as Tinashe, is an American singer-songwriter, actress, dancer, and former model born in Lexington, Kentucky and raised in Los Angeles, California.

Born on February 6, 1993, her rise to fame began with her acting on shows such as Two and a Half Men. Initially making her debut in the music industry via the short-lived girl group The Stunners—which also featured Hayley Kiyoko—she garnered attention from online music blogs with her 2012 mixtape, In Case We Die. Signing with RCA Records shortly after, she released two further mixtapes later that year and in 2013: Reverie and Black Water respectively. “2 On” was released in January 2014 as the lead single from her debut album, Aquarius, and remains her biggest solo single to date. Released in October that year, the album was praised by critics for its merging of old-school R&B sounds and fresh 2010s trends. The follow-up was subjected to much-criticised although “Player” was billed as the collection’s lead single as early as October 2015, songs released from the project failed to reach the label’s expectations, resulting in the release of an album’s worth of outtakes from the album, Nightride, in November 2016. Joyride was finally released on April 13: it features the singles “No Drama”, “Faded Love” and “Me So Bad”.

On February 18, 2019, Tinashe parted ways with her longtime record label RCA. By November that year, she inked a new management deal with Roc Nation and self-released Songs for You, her fourth studio album.
