Slow Cooker Lyrics

[Intro]
Oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Woah

[Verse 1]
I'm not worried 'bout tomorrow
While we're still, while we're still
While we're still soaking in today
Yeah
Don't need any extra fire, no
'Cause we will, 'cause we will
'Cause we will end up burning down this place
Yeah

[Chorus]
Our love's worth waiting for
Just let it stew some more
Bring out each flavor and spice
Stir up what's mine and yours
Like I warned you before, yeah
I can't help that I'm a slow cooker
Slow cooker

[Verse 2]
Everybody's speeding
But you and me, you and me
You and me move at our own pace
Oh, Lord
Ain't nothing like a simmer, ayy
Let it be, let it be
Let it breathe
And then we'll sneak a taste
Goddamn, yeah
[Chorus]
Our love's worth waiting for
Just let it stew some more
Bring out each flavor and spice
Stir up what's mine and yours
Spill it all on the floor, yeah
I can't help that I'm a slow cooker

[Post-Chorus]
(Good things come to those who can wait)
I can't help that I'm a slow cooker(I'll take my sweet time like a)
(Good things come to those who can wait)
I can't help that I'm a slow cooker (I'll take my sweet time like a)
(Forming gold can take a billion years) Ooh
(So me and my baby)
(We just gon' slow cook up in here, yeah) I can't help that I'm a slow cooker
(Forming gold can take a billion years)
(So me and my baby)
(We just gon' slow cook up in here) Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh, forming gold can take a billion years
So me and my baby, we just gon' slow cook up in here, yeah
Forming gold can take a billion years
So me and my baby, we just gon' slow cook up in here, ayy
Forming gold can take a billion years
So me and my baby, we just gon' slow cook, slowly, slowly, slow
[Outro]
Just gon' slow cook up in
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow
Forming gold can take a billion years
So me and my baby, come on, baby
Slow, slow
Slow (Slow, slow)
Slow

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]

What did John Legend say about "Slow Cooker"?
Genius Answer

Trey [Campbell] originally wrote this as a metaphor for someone who takes a while to react to life, who needs to think about things longer than other people. I was fine with that, but I thought it’d be cooler if we made the song sexier and about taking it slow in a more sensual way. I love a good food metaphor because Chrissy and I love to cook, so it felt like a perfect little tweak.
