[Verse 1]
She takes it deep to the heart
And right from the start she talks softly over a glass of wine
Now and again more than a friend why don’t you just throw me a line
Well it would be great she’d dedicate a minute to my precious time
But I give it a while but that’s my style I always had to cry
Everyone says that I’m wild but pardon my french but I sell a child
And that was the day I told her I need more time

[Verse 2]
But I did that walking when she was still talking
And I’m looking for an exit sign
Pardon my face but I’m leaving no trace because I really haven’t got no more time
I began thinking and my heart is sinking and I’m looking for a place to go
Well isn’t it sad she could treat you so bad you never really let her know
Everyone said she crying but I can’t forget the time I was trying
And that was the day I told her I need more time
I know I know but what it feels like to be alone
I say now I know I know what it feels like to be at home
I know I like I like stopping to say hello
So my life my life why can’t we take this slow why can’t you take this slow
Go Richard

[Verse 3]
Why can’t we take this slow
Well I think that your fazes I’m walking through your mazes
I’m so damn sick I’m so tired
It sure isn’t fair but I was never aware of the patience that you require
No fight but I kissed you everytime that I missed you I still would’ve walked out that door
Cause now and again I could sure use a friend isn’t that what you’re for
And everyone say that I’m lying but I can’t forget the time that I was trying
And that was the day I told her I need more time
I know I know but what it feels like to be alone
I say now I know I know what it feels like to be at home
I know I like I like stopping to say hello
So my life my life why can’t we take this slow why can’t you take this slow
Feels like to be alone so you know
Just what it’s like to live at home do you love do you like
Sitting back just seeing my life it’s my only life
We better take it slow do you know do you know what it feels like to be alone
Do you know do you know what it’s like to be at home
I know I like I like stopping to say hello
So my life my life why can’t we take this slow why can’t you take this slow
Yeah take it slow
