Slow

I'm slowin' down the tune

I never liked it fast

You wanna get there soon

I wanna get there last

It's not because I'm old

It's not the life I led

I always liked it slow

That's what my mama said

I'm lacin' up my shoe

But I don't wanna run

I'll get there when I do

Don't need no startin' gun

It's not because I'm old

And it's not what dyin' 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 mama 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

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 the life I led

I always liked it slow

That's what my mama said

I'm slowin' down the tune

I never liked it fast

You wanna get there soon

I wanna get there last

So, baby, let me go

You're wanted back in town

In case they want to know

I'm just tryin' to slow it down
