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]
