Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I know what's on your mind

You feel you're wasting time

Wanna talk about it?

[Verse 2]

You feel there's something wrong

Don't feel like holding on

You better think about it

[Verse 3]

You say you just can't see

Don't lay that hurt on me

What I'm trying, baby

[PreChorus]

Got something on my mind

Something I've got to find

I'm on the move, baby

[Chorus]

You see, I can't slow down

Gotta keep moving, baby

Can't slow down

No, I can't slow down, oh

Can't slow down

Got to keep moving on

Oh, baby

[Verse 4]

I'm out here on the run

Trying to get things done

Can you hear me, baby?

[Verse 5]

You think my love's nowhere

You think I just don't care

Are you kidding, baby?

[Chorus]

Don't make me play no games

Too hard to just stay sane

You know that time won't wait

Why should I hesitate?

Got to do it, baby

[Chorus]

You see, I can't slow down

Gotta keep moving, baby

Can't slow down

No, I can't slow down

Stop, baby

No, can't slow down

Got to keep moving on

Oh, oh, baby

[Bridge]

I'm working hard trying to pull it together

You know I've got to, right now

'Cause, girl, I can't quit once I get started

I've got to make it somehow, ow

[Bridge]

I got to keep moving, I can't stop moving

I got to keep moving, I can't stop

I got to keep moving, I can't stop moving

I got to keep moving, I can't stop

I got to keep moving, I can't stop moving

I got to keep moving, I can't stop

I got to keep moving, I can't stop moving

I got to keep moving, I can't stop

[Chorus]

Can't slow down

Can't slow down

Can't slow down

Can't slow down

Baby

[PreChorus]

Ooh, girl I'm all fired up

Just can't get enough

Girl, of it

Girl, I'm on the one

Gotta keep on keeping on, oh yeah

[Chorus]

Oh, you see, I can't slow down

Got to keep moving, baby

Can't slow down, ow

No, I can't slow down

Got to keep moving, baby

[Chorus]

Can't slow down

Can't slow down

Can't slow down

Can't slow down

Can't slow down

[Outro]

Can't slow down

Got to keep moving

Can't slow down

Ooh yeah, girl

Can't slow down

Can't slow down

No, I just can't slow down
