People work so hard that they get heartattacks
The speed of life is much too high

I just wonder, babe
Why they can't slow down
Take your time, take your time
Hey, you

The man is through, he always drove too fast
And wouldn't listen to my words

Now it's too late for my advice
'Cause he's lying under the ground
Take your time, take your time
Hey, you

A friend of mine he fell in love one day
The poor fool didn't take his time

Now he's in matrimonial state
With screaming children all around
Take your time, take your time
Hey, you

People work so hard that they get heartattacks
The speed of life is much too high

I just wonder, babe
Why they can't slow down
Take your time, take your time
Hey, you

Hey, you
