I´m slowing down the tune
I´ve never liked it fast
You wanna get there soon
I wanna get there last
It´s not because I´m old

It´s not the life I led
I always liked it slow
That´s what my mamma said

I´m lacing up my shoes
But I don´t want to run
I´ll get there when i do
Don´t need no starting gun
It´s not because i´m old
And it´s not what dying does
I´ve always liked it slow
Slow is in my blood

I´ve always like it slow
I never liked it fast
With you it´s got to go
With me it´s got to last
It´s not because I´m old

It´s not because I´m dead
I´ve always liked it slow
That´s what my mama said

All your moves are swift
All your turns are tight
Let me catch my breath
I thought we had all night
I like to take my time
I like to linger as it flies
A weekend on your lips
A lifetime in your eyes

I´ve always like it slow
I never liked it fast
With you it´s got to go
With me it´s got to last
It´s not because I´m old

It´s not the life I led
I´ve always like it slow
That´s what my mama said

I´m slowing down the tune
I´ve never liked it fast
You wanna get there soon
I wanna get there last
So, baby let me go
You´re wanted back in town
In case they want to know
I´m just trying to slow down
