Slow Down

When my love asks me

To slow down...

It's like a needle or an ice pick...

When my love asks me

To slow down...

It's like a rake across my bicep...

...Oh, no, I can't imagine

I could get

So lost inside my head

That our hearts that are

So locked in motion

Would become unwed...

How did I, under the spell

Of living

Get desensitized,

And not see the words

Written in blood...

This message in the skies?...

When my love asks me

To slow down...

It's like a needle or an ice pick...

When my love asks me

To slow down...

It's like a rake across my bicep...

...She's so right on every count,

She's got me

Blushed down to my shoes...

Like dynamite

Were wired and set

I'm chasing down this fuse...

But I can't deny my destiny,

This head sunk in my lap

Is my life's ambition,

No objections,

Not an inch

Of room for that...

When my love asks me

To slow down...

It's like a needle or an ice pick...

When my love asks me

To slow down...

It's like a rake across my bicep...

When my love...

When my love...

When my love asks me

To slow down...

When my love...

When my love...

When my love asks me

To slow down...
