she takes it deep to her heart

right from the start

she talks softly over a glass of whine



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 bad

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
