Leonard Cohen - Slow lyrics

[Verse] I'm slowing down the tune I've never liked it fast You wanna get there soon I wanna get there last It's not because I'm old It's not the life I led I always liked it slow That's what my mamma said [Verse] I'm lacing up my shoes But I don't want to run I'll get there when i do Don't need no starting gun It's not because I'm old And it's not what dying does I've always liked it slow Slow is in my blood [Chorus] I've always like it slow I never liked it fast With you it's got to go With me it's got to last It's not because I'm old It's not because I'm dead I've always liked it slow That's what my mama said [Verse] All your moves are swift All your turns are tight Let me catch my breath I thought we had all night I like to take my time I like to linger as it flies A weekend on your lips A lifetime in your eyes [Chorus] I've always like it slow I never liked it fast With you it's got to go With me it's got to last It's not because I'm old It's not the life I led I've always like it slow That's what my mama said [Chorus] I'm slowing down the tune I've never liked it fast You wanna get there soon I wanna get there last So, baby let me go You're wanted back in town In case they want to know I'm just trying to slow down
