She takes it deep to the heart right from the start
she talks softly over a glass of wine.
Now and again she`s more than a friend, why don`t
you just throw me that line.
It would be great if she`d dedicate just a minute
from her precious time.
I`ll give it a while, but that`s 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 was the day I told her I needed some
time.
Well I began walking when she was still talking I`m
looking for that exit sign.
Pardon my face but I`m leaving no trace cause I
really haven`t got the time.
Well I began thinking and my heart is just sinking
and I`m looking for that place to go.
Isn`t it sad that she`ll treat you so bad, but you
never really let her know.
And everyone says that she`s crying.
But I can`t forget all the time I spent trying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.
I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It`s my life, my life why can`t we take this slow?
Why can`t we take this slow?
Well I`ve been through these phases, I`ve walked
through these mazes.
I`m sick and I`m a little tired.
It sure isn`t fair but I`m not aware of the patience
that`s required.
If I could have kissed her every time that I missed
her I still would be out the door.
But now and again, I sure need a friend now isn`t
that what she`s for?
And everyone says that I`m lying,
But I can`t forget all the time she spent crying.
And that was the day I told her I needed some
time.
I know, I know what it feels like to be alone.
I know, I know what it feels like to be at home.
I like, I like stopping to say hello.
It`s my life, my life why can`t we take this slow?
Why can`t we take this slow?
Baby take it slow.
It`s my life.
My life.
Why can`t we take it slow?
Baby, take it slow.
