She takes it deep to her heart
Right from the start
She talks softly over a glass of wine
Now and again
She is more than a friend
But don't you just throw me a line
Say now it would be great
If she'd dedicate
Just a minute from her precious time
Said i'll give it a while
But thats 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 wasn't it
I told her i needed some time from her daddy-o
I began walking
While she was still talkin
Lookin for an exit sign
Pardon my face
But i am leaving no trace
Cause i really haven't got the time
Well i began thinking
And my heart is just sinking
Looking for a place to go
Well isn't it sad
How she'll treats you so bad
And u never really let her know
Well everyone says that shes cryin
But i can; t forget all the tiem i spent tryin
And that wasn't it
I told her i needed some time from her daddy-o
And 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 i like i like
Stoping to say hello
Said its 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 been thro the phases
And i walked thro the mazes
I'm sick and just a little tired
I'm sure it isn't fair
But i'm not aware
Of the patience thats required
If i could have kissed her
Everytime that i misses her
I wouldn't be out the door
But now and again
I sure need a friend
Now isn't that what shes for
Everyone says that i'm lyin
But i can't forget all the times she was cryin
And that wasn't it
I told her i need some time from her daddy-o
And 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 i like i like
Stoping to say hello
Said its my life my life my life
Why can't we take this slow, why can; t we take this slow
Baby take this slow
Its my life my life
Why can; t we take this slow
