When I was a young boy, before I knew you
I just couldn’t wait to grow old:
Stay up late; no hesitate; go a million miles an hour
With no particular place to go
But since then I’ve found a direction
I’ve found out where I really belong
I don’t need money, honey, or to go around the world
I just need you next to me all night long

Some people want fast cars, so they can pass ours
As we are driving underneath sunny blue skies
They’re going too fast to see anything, especially what’s
Right in front of their eyes
There’s no need for a rush, girl I love you too much
All that I want to do is slow dance with you

There’s too many people out there in the world
Who live like the end is near:
They go crazy searching for something to hold on to
While I hold your hand right here
All the time that I’ll need is time spent with you
No need for a big commotion
So let’s shoot for the stars; let’s travel to Mars
Where everything moves in slow motion

Some people want fast cars, so they can pass ours
As we are driving underneath sunny blue skies
They’re going too fast to see anything, especially what’s
Right in front of their eyes
There’s no need for a rush, girl I love you too much
All that I want to do is slow dance with you

Some people want love songs, so they can sing along
But girl, I don’t need to make a sound
If you understand girl, just take my hand, girl
Come along with me and we’ll leave this town
Don’t need no gift from above, I’ve got you and your love
All that I want to do is slow dance with you
The thing that I love to do is slow dance with you
