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
(repeat)
