Slow Lyrics - Popular Problems - Leonard Cohen

I'm slowing down the tune 

I never liked it fast 

You want to get there soon 

I want to 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 momma said 

I'm lacing up my shoe 

But I don't want to run 

I'll get here when I do 

Don't need no starting gun 

It's not because I'm old 

And it's not what dying does 

I always liked it slow 

Slow is in my blood 

I always liked 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 always liked it slow 

That's what my momma said 

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 

I always liked 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 always liked it slow 

That's what my momma said 

I'm slowing down the tune 

I never liked it fast 

You want to get there soon 

I want to 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 it down
