Radio Disney Edit
McCartney recorded an edited version of the song for
Radio Disney and it is featured on
Radio Disney Jams, Vol. 9. He performed at the Radio Disney 10th Birthday Concert. The slightly suggestive lines, ''please don't take your time'' was replaced to ''you've been on my mind'' and ''Baby don't be gentle. I can handle anything.'' to ''Girl don't keep me waiting. Now's the time to get away.''.
Major edits were in the 1st and 2nd verses, and also the bridge of the song:
*''Need to lose control'' to ''Need to just let go''.
*''Played it slow'' to ''Let it flow''.
*''Girl, I'm gonna let you have your way with me'' to ''Girl, There's something about you that I can't explain''.
*''When you move like that it's hard to breathe'' to ''I wouldn't have it any other way''.
*''Trying to keep my body still'' to ''can't believe this feeling's real''.
Lyrics
The lyrics of the song tells about a man who is wooing a woman, and a man asks her to take things slowly to get to know each other well.
