Lyrics Take It Slow and Easy - Barbara Dane

Take It Slow and Easy

I love my man, tell ya the reason why
He’s got that certain kinda look in his eye
When I met him he was nice and sweet
Now he wants to steal like a cop on the beat
Lay down, dady, won’t you take your rest
I call you through the night, why won’t you do your best
I’m askin' you why do you do me like you do
Double, double do love you
Aw, take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me
Take it slow and easy, easy as any man can me
I got one, two, three, four, five, six reason
Double-cross me, that’s an act of treason
Take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me
Now take it easy, «Good News»
Ah, the way you act you oughta be ashamed
You make the people think that you been insane
The kids are going hungry, wearing raggedy clothes
You run around town with a bunch of winos
Got up this morning, wouldn’t eat a bite
Drinkin' that bad wine took your appetite
I’m askin' you why do you do me like you do
Double, double do love you
Aw, take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me
Take it slow and easy, easy as any man can me
I got one, two, three, four, five, six reason
Double-cross me, that’s an act of treason
Take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me
If you wanna get along with me
I know you wanna get along with me so take it easy
But, take it
