[Verse 1: Usher]
I was all alone
I was feeling rather low
I needed someone to lift my spirits up
So I dropped in on a dance
Just to take a glance
And there this lovely thing was
She was more than enough

I asked her for her hand
Said, "would you like to dance?"
So pleased that I had asked
She quickly took my hand
And we danced and fell in love
On a slow jam, oohh

[Chorus: Usher]
Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby, for me

Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby and for me

[Verse 2: Monica]
Seems what you say is true
I feel the same way, too
You see, I waited all night long
Just to dance with you
And when you touched my hand
I knew you were the man
To turn my world around
And make my dreams come true

The magic in your eyes
Made me realize
That everything I feel
Has got to be real
And we danced and fell in love
On a slow jam

[Chorus: Monica]
Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
For me and for my baby
Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
For my baby and for me

[Bridge: Usher, Monica & Both]
I'm trying to find someone who
I can give my good loving to
Never, ever did I dream I'd find someone, yeah
Now, I've been trying to find someone, too
I prayed to Heaven and then I found you
I swear, I fell in love the night you danced into my heart

[Chorus: Usher & Monica]
Play another slow jam (ah baby)
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
(Can I get a slow jam, do you want to slow jam?)
Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
(Can I get a slow jam, play another slow jam
Are you gonna slow jam?)

Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam
Play another slow jam
This time, make it sweet
On a slow jam....

With a career spanning over twenty-five years, Usher Raymond has become one of the most influential voices in contemporary R&B.
