I've got to slow down yeah
Because I'm going to fast
I've got to slow down yeah
In the rat race you've got to last
I've got to slow down yeah
Because I'm rolling too fast
I've got to slow down yeah
Just take some time and step up off the tracks

Come on yeah
Come on with me

Woah woah woah woah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Patience is the key to me
Patience is the key to me
Patience is the key to me
Come on now doesn't everybody know
The simple situation leads to an action
Action makes some room for the feeling of attraction
Attraction is reaction and creates the satisfaction
Hold contraction pause for passion move in with that natural yeah
Oooh oooh oooooooh oooh ooohhh

You see I slow down yeah
Because it goes by too fast
And then I slow down yeah
Before today turns into the past
I forgot to slow down yeah
Because I've got two babies
And then I slow down yeah

I've got to slow slow down




Goes by too fast
All of the sudden today is the past yeah
