Lyrics
Slow down, slow down old world
There’s no hurry
‘Cause my life ain’t mine anymore
I lived too fast
Now it’s too late to worry
And I’m too blue to cry anymore
I once was a fool for the women
Now I’m just a fool, nothing more
So slow down, slow down old world
There’s no hurry
‘Cause my life ain’t mine anymore
I once had a way with the women
‘Till one got away with my heart
So slow down, slow down old world
There’s no hurry
‘Cause my life ain’t mine anymore
‘Cause my life ain’t mine anymore
