She takes it deep to the heart right from the start she
Talks softly over a gla** of wine
Now and again she's more than a friend
Why don't You just throw me that line
It would be great if she'd dedicate just a minute from Her precious time
I'll give it a while, but that's not my style, 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 time
Well I began walking when she was still talking I'm Looking for that exit sign
Pardon my face but I'm leaving no trace cause I Really haven't got the time
Well I began thinking and my heart is just sinking
And I'm looking for that place to go
Isn't it sad that she'll treat you so bad
But you never really Let her know
And everyone says that she's crying
But I can't forget all the time I spent trying
And that's the day I told her I needed some time I know
I know what it feels like to be alone
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home
I like, I like stopping to say hello
It's my life, my life why can't we take this slow?
Why can't we take this slow?
Well I've been through these phases
I've walked Through these mazes
I'm sick and I'm little tired
It sure isn't fair but I'm not aware of the patience that's required
If I could have kissed her every time that I missed Her
I still would 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 times she spent crying
And that was the day I told her I needed some time
I know, I know what it feels like to be alone
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home
I like, I like stopping to say hello
It's 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 takes it slow
