It's time to breathe

Good morning Mr Lovebones, how you doing today?

Well I’m just like Patsy, I got my sparkle back again

I’ve been talking less, thinking more, feel like I should hold you inside

No more watching from the sidelines, I ain’t along for the ride, no sir

Well the wind might change while I'm talking to you

I feel a little faint getting too much truth

And nothing that I need to do

Take it nice and slow

Nice and slow

Nice and slow

Nice and slow (take it take it)

‘Nice and slow

Morning Mr Darkness, stop all this running away

Will you be walking in a straight line, now you know crime doesn’t pay

Your luck has changed, I got sweeter for you

I used to be a dreamer with my heart full of moon

Be careful not to speak too soon

Take it nice and slow

Nice and slow (take it take it)

Nice and slow

Nice and slow (take it take it)

Nice and slow

Nice and slow

And l walk down the street with a smile on my face and my heart on my sleeve

Nice and slow

And if you really love me then show it don’t say it

It’s the only way to go

Nice and slow

See I learnt the hard way love is mundane

Love is just nice & slow.
