I 'm slowing down the tune I never liked it fast
You want to get there soon I want to get there last
It's no t because I'm o ld It's no t the life I l ed
I a lways liked it s low That's what my m omma sai d
I 'm lacing up my shoe But I don't want to run
I'll get there when I do Don't need no startin' gun
It's no t because I'm o ld And it's no t what dying d oes
I al ways liked it s low Slo w is in my bl ood
I al ways liked it sl ow I ne ver liked it fa st
With yo u it's got to go With m e it's got to l ast
It's n ot because I'm ol d It's n ot because I'm de ad
I al ways liked it sl ow That's what my m omma sai d
A ll your moves are swift All your turns are tight
Let me catch my breath I thought we had all night
I li ke to take my t ime I like to li nger as it f lies
A we ekend on your li ps A lifetime i n yo ur ey es
I'm s lowing down the tu ne I ne ver liked it fa st
You wa nt to get there so on I wa nt to get there la st
It's n ot because I'm ol d It's n ot the life I le d
I a lways liked it sl ow That's what my m omma sai d
I'm sl owing down the tu ne I ne ver liked it fa st
You wa nt to get there s oon I w ant to get there la st
So ba by let me g o You're wa nted back in to wn
In c ase they want to kn ow I'm just tr ying to sl ow it do w
