Take it slow, oh, Joe
Take it slow
Don't brush it in high
Let's start it in low
This whimsical game
Thrives on an easy flame, easy flame
Go smart, go slow
Don't burn it up, Joe
Make it last, play it cool
Make it last
If it's only a dream
Don't dream it up too fast
If it's love, don't let us blunder
Just let this wonder
Grow, let it grow
Sweet man, don't you know
That love's a long goodbye?
So go slow, Joe
If it's love, don't let us blunder
Just let this wonder
Grow, let it grow
Sweet man, don't you know?
That love's a long goodbye?
So go slow, Joe
