So much better than we felt
And better than the rest

Uh, uh, oh
Life ain't goin' nowhere (nowhere)
Slow down (slow down)
I'm just takin' my time (my time), until you make up your mind
That you're better than the rest
And I ain't goin' nowhere (nowhere)
Slow down (slow down)
I'm just takin' my time (my time), until you show me some signs
That you're better than the rest

How many nights I wish you would've brought your ass home
And, if you were gonna be late, that you would've picked up the phone
And, I'm not tryna nail you, I just worry about you baby
I know your temper if somebody get at you wrong, but you better slow down

Life ain't goin' nowhere (nowhere)
Slow down (slow down)
I'm just takin' my time (my time), until you make up your mind
That you're better than the rest
And I ain't goin' nowhere (nowhere)
Slow down (slow down)
I'm just takin' my time (my time), until you show me some signs
That you're better than the rest

And you can go out in the streets and you can get that dope up fast
I got your back
But you got talent and you got dreams to build something that will last
Could see all you could be, so I'm gonna steer you right always
As your lover and your wife, your friend and even your bitch
But you need to be patient

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Life ain't goin' nowhere (nowhere)
Slow down (slow down)
I'm just takin' my time, until you make up your mind
That you're better than the rest
And I ain't goin' nowhere (nowhere)
Slow down (slow down)
I'm just takin' my time, until you show me some signs
That you're better than the rest

(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)
(Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh)

Life is what you make it, don't you even know?
That to get from A to Z you have to go
Take the future right into your hands
Soon enough you will become the man (the man)
