Slow

I'm slowing down the tune

I never liked it fast

You wanna get there soon

I want to get there last

It's not because I'm bold

It's not the life I lead

I always liked it slow

That's what my ma-ma said

I'm lacing up my shoes

But I don't want to run

I'll get there when I do

Don't need no starting gun

It's not because I'm old

And it's not what dying does

I always liked it slow

Slow is in my blood

I always liked it slow

I never liked it fast

With you it's got to go

With me it's got to last

It's not because I'm old

It's not because I'm dead

I always liked it slow

That's what my ma-ma said

All your moves are swift

All your turns are tight

Let me catch my breath

I thought we had all night

I like to take my time

I like to linger as it flies

A weekend on your lips

A lifetime in your eyes

And I always liked it slow

I never liked it fast

With you it's got to go

With me it's got to last

It's not because I'm old

It's not because I'm dead

I always liked it slow

That's what my ma-ma said

I'm slowing down the tune

I never liked it fast

You wanna get there soon

I want to get there last

So baby let me go

You're wanted back in town

In case they want to know

I'm just trying to slow it down
