She takes it deep to the heart right from the start
She talks softly over a glass of wine
Now and again she's more than a friend
But don't you just throw me that lineSaying that it would be great if she'd dedicate
Just a minute from her precious time
Said, I'll give it a while, that's not my style
Now how is that a crime?Everyone says that I'm wild
Pardon my French but I still know my child
And that was the day I told her I needed some timeI began walking when she was still talking
Looking for an exit sign
Pardon my face, but I'm leaving no trace
'Cause I really haven't got the timeWell, I began thinking and my heart is just sinking
I'm looking for that place to go
Well, isn't it sad that she'll treat you so bad
And you never really let her knowWell, everyone says that she's crying
But I can't forget all the time I spent trying
And that was the day I told her I needed some timeAnd I know, I know what it feels like to be alone
I say now, I know, I know what it feels like to be at home
I say now, I like, I like stopping to say hello
Say, it's my life, my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?Why can't we take this slow?Now I've been through these phases
And I've walked through these mazes
I'm sick and just a little tired
It sure isn't fair but I'm not aware
Of the patience that's requiredIf I could have kissed her
Every time that I missed her
I wouldn't be out the door
But now and again I sure need a friend
Now isn't that what she's for?And everyone says that I'm lying
But I can't forget all the time she was crying
And that was the day I told her I needed some timeAnd I know, I know what it feels like to be alone
I say now, I know, I know what it feels like to be at home
I say now, I like, I like stopping to say hello
Say, it's my life, my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Baby take it slow, it's my life, my life, why can't we take it slow?
Baby take it slow, it's my life, my life, why can't we take it slow?
Baby take it slow
