| When you’re jarred for your reaction
|
| There’s another way of getting through
|
| So many people in a hurry
|
| Pushing by you in their fury
|
| Trying to get there before you do If you’ve ever been through customs
|
| Or police who say let’s bust them
|
| It’s the one who rushes who will lose
|
| You’ve got to control your panic
|
| Slow down, pause, and handle it
|
| It’s the only way to get on through So don’t you rush it (Keep in time) Don't
|
| you push it (Don't break the rhyme) Don't you shove it (Just take your
|
| time) Don't you lose control (If you want to) You must keep it (Keep in time) Keep
|
| it cool (Don't break the rhyme) You must keep it (Just take your time) Keep it
|
| smooth (If you want to) I like to wait for the afternoon
|
| As life rushes by
|
| Slow down
|
| If you pause for the noonday sun
|
| You won’t even have to try
|
| Have you ever been in a traffic jam
|
| Have you ever needed a gram
|
| Ha Ha, I have, but I got over it
|
| Uh-huh, I got over it Some people choose the darkness
|
| To imagine who their partner is
|
| Or to cover their embarrassment
|
| Well, there’s a time of push and shove
|
| In both life and in love
|
| But for me, I’ll take the afternoon And don’t rush it (Keep in time) I don’t
|
| push it (Don't break the rhyme) I won’t shove it (Just take your time) I won’t
|
| lose control (If you want to) So don’t you lose it (Keep in time) Don't you push
|
| it (Don't break the rhyme) Don't you shove it (Just take your time) And just keep
|
| it smooth (If you want to) I like to wait for the afternoon
|
| As life rushes by
|
| Take your time
|
| If you pause for the noonday sun
|
| You won’t even have to try Now keep it simple (Keep in time) Keep it smooth
