SLOW 慢
I'm slowing down the tune 凡事我不急
I never liked it fast 从不喜欢快
You want to get there soon 你想快点到
I want to get there last 我想最后到
It's not because I'm old 并不是我老
It's not the life I led 只是不对路
I always liked it slow 我就喜欢慢
That's what my mama said 我妈早就说
I'm lacing up my shoe 系好了鞋带
But I don't want to run 但不是要跑
I'll get here when I do 想走咱再走
Don't need no starting gun 无需发令枪
It's not because I'm old 并不是我老
It's not what dying does 又不赶投胎
I always liked it slow 我就喜欢慢
Slow is in my blood 沁在骨子里
I always liked it slow: 我就喜欢慢
I never liked it fast 我不喜欢快
With you it's got to go: 跟你就得快
With me it's got to last 跟我不着急
It's not because I'm old 并不是我老
It's not because I'm dead 我也没完蛋
I always liked it slow 我就喜欢慢
That's what my mama said 我妈早就说
All your moves are swift 你动的敏捷
All your turns are tight 你转的急促
Let me catch my breath 让我喘喘气
I thought we had all night 还有一整夜
I like to take my time 不操之过急
I like to linger as it flies 任时光流淌
A weekend on your lips 唇边一周末
A lifetime in your eyes 记我一辈子
I always liked it slow: 我就喜欢慢
I never liked it fast 我不喜欢快
With you it's got to go: 跟你就得快
With me it's got to last 跟我不着急
It's not because I'm old 并不是我老
It's not because I'm dead 我也没完蛋
I always liked it slow 我就喜欢慢
That's what my mama said 我妈早就说
I'm slowing down the tune 凡事我不急
I never liked it fast 从不喜欢快
You want to get there soon 你想快点到
I want to get there last 我想最后到
So baby let me go 宝贝别管我
You're wanted back in town 好些人要你
In case they want to know 人们真想知
I'm just trying to slow it down 就说我想慢
