Slow
I'm slowing down the tuneI never liked it fastYou want to get there soonI want to get there last
It's not because I'm oldIt's not the life I ledI always liked it slowThat's what my momma said
I'm lacing up my shoeBut I don't want to runI'll get here when I doDon't need no starting gun
It's not because I'm oldAnd it's not what dying doesI always liked it slowSlow is in my blood
I always liked it slow:I never liked it fastWith you it's got to go:With me it's got to last
It's not because I'm oldIt's not because I'm deadI always liked it slowThat's what my momma said
All your moves are swiftAll your turns are tightLet me catch my breathI thought we had all night
I like to take my timeI like to linger as it fliesA weekend on your lipsA lifetime in your eyes
I always liked it slow:I never liked it fastWith you it's got to go:With me it's got to last
It's not because I'm oldIt's not the life I ledI always liked it slowThat's what my momma said
I'm slowing down the tuneI never liked it fastYou want to get there soonI want to get there last
So baby let me goYou're wanted back in townIn case they want to knowI'm just trying to slow it down
