Real Damn Slow

My first true lover was a teenage crush
She said, “Hey baby what the hell is your rush?”
Don’t need you telling me you’ll always be mine
D’you know forever, that’s a mighty long time
Will you still mean it when these roses are dead
She killed the lights and pulled me closer and said
I’ll tell you something it may help you to know
Some things are better taken real damn slow

Straight out of talent school they sold him a dream
I saw the kid up on the TV screen
He had it all for just the 10 week run
Then by the summer he was over and done
One more discarded by a hungry machine
Burned out and broken down and barely sixteen
Now all he wants is to get back on the show
Some things are better taken real damn slow

Time is a’wastin’
And you don’t have a second to lose
Here comes a man with a smile
And an offer you’d me mad to refuse.

You want it all well you can get it today
No money down and not a penny to pay
May call it risky but I’m moving it on
A little magic and the danger is gone
Party’s over well now ain’t that a shame
I’ll take my severance and get out of the game
One little blink and where the hell did it go?
Some things are better taken real damn slow
