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 But don't you just throw me a line
I 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 that's not my style
Now how is that a crime?

Everyone says that I'm wild
But pardon my french but I still know my child And that was the day I told her I needed some time Humdaddyooo......

I began walkin' when she was still talkin' lookin' for an exit sign
Pardon my face but I'm leavin no trace 'Cause I really haven't got the time
Well I began think and my
Heart is just sinkin'
Lookin' for a place to go
Well isn't it sad that she'll
Treat you so bad
And you never really let her know

Well everyone says that she's cryin'
But I can't forget all the time I spent tryin' And that was the day I told her I needed some time Humdaddyooo......

[Chorus]
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 now I like, I like
Stopping to say hello
I said it's 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've been through the phases
And I've walked through the mazes
I'm sick just a little tired
It sure isn't fair but I'm not aware
Of the patience that's required
If I coulda kissed her everytime that I missed her I wouldn't 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 lyin'
But I can't forget all the times she was cryin' And that was the day I told her I needed sometime Humdaddyooo....

[Chorus]
