Nightshade - Slow Dance

This I wrote a little more recently (Last week, actually not even a week ago). I was about to go to a dance in an hour or two, and I came up with a slow, melancholy riff, and made something of it on FL Studio, and left to the dance. When I came back, I thought of lyrics to write for it, or moreover just something to call it, and I remembered something my friend said to me at the dance about slow dancing, and it inspired the lyrics for it.

Lyrics (Starts at 0:25):

Puppy love is such a cute thing,
Maybe you both have a song you like to sing,
But before you say to her, "I love you,"
Double check to make sure you truly do,

Slow dance,
With someone who you love,
Somebody who you are a part of,
Slow dance,
With someone you care about,
Somebody you can't live without,

Slow dance with somebody that you love,
Someone that you can't get enough of,
Slow dance with somebody that you care about,
Someone that tomorrow, you won't throw out,

Slow dance,
With someone who you love,
Somebody who you are a part of,
Slow dance,
With someone you care about,
Somebody you can't live without

Listen to my words, take my advice,
Before you say "I love you," you better think twice,
Listen to my words, take my advice,
So you don't leave somebody, feeling as cold as ice,

Slow dance,
With someone who you love,
Somebody who you are a part of,
Slow dance,
With someone you care about,
Somebody you can't live without

Listen to my words, take my advice,
Before you say "I love you," you better think twice,
Listen to my words, take my advice,
So you don't leave somebody, feeling as cold as ice,

This is basically telling the listener to tell your girlfriend "I love you" only if you actually love her, not as some puppy love thing, because it'll lose it's meaning, and won't mean anything when you actually do mean it. "Slow dance" is a kind of metaphor for something deep and meaningful in a relationship (Like the phrase "I love you," or at least it should be), and you should only have something like that with someone you truly do want something like that with.
