Lyrics
Hoh,
hoh.
Girl, I’m in love with you, but this ain’t the hon ey moon.
We’re past the in fat u a tion (F)phase.
We’re right in the thick of love.
At times we get sick of love.
It seems like we ar gue ev ’ry day.
I know I’ve mis be haved and you’ve made your mis takes and we’ve both still got room left to grow.
And though love some times hurts, I still put you first.
And we’ll make this thing work, but I think we should take it slow.
We’re just or di nar y peo ple.
We don’t know which way to (Fmaj7)go,
’cause we’re or di nar y peo ple.
May be we should take it (Fmaj9)slow.
Take it (Bbmaj7)slow, oh, oh.
This time we’ll take it slow.
Take it (Bbmaj7)slow, oh, oh.
This time we’ll take it slow.
This ain’t a mov ie, naw.
(Ebmaj9)No fair y tale con clu sion, y’all.
It gets more con fus ing ev ’ry day.
Oh,
some times it’s heav en sent, then we head back to hell a gain.
We kiss, then we make up on the way.
I hang up; you call.
We rise and we fall, and we feel like just walk ing a way.
But as our love ad vanc es, we take sec ond chanc es.
Though it’s not a fan ta sy, I still want you to stay.
This time we’ll take it slow.
Take it slow.
May be we’ll live and learn.
May be we’ll crash and burn.
May be you’ll stay; may be you’ll leave; may be you’ll re turn.
May be an oth er fight; may be we won’t sur vive.
But may be we’ll grow.
We nev er know, ba by, you and I.
We’re just or di nar y peo ple.
We don’t know which way to (Fmaj7)go,
’cause we’re or di nar y peo ple.
May be we should take it (Fmaj9)slow.
Take it (Bbmaj7)slow, oh, oh.
This time we’ll take it slow.
Take it (Bbmaj7)slow, oh, oh.
This time we’ll take it slow.
Take it
Take it (Bbmaj7)slow,
slow.
This time we’ll take it (Fmaj7)slow.
Take it (Bbmaj7)slow, oh, oh.
This time we’ll take
it (Fmaj13)slow.
