it's too slow

well i have to wonder

about the stars i'm under

how they won't make up their minds

and if this ain't dreaming

then i might run screaming

to the nearest compromise

there's one thing i know

it's too slow

don't i know

and if i don't get there

don't you say i told you so

there's a frank admission

under no position

to be telling you all your crimes

but if i must blame someone

for what's been left undone

then i might find i'm first in line

there's one thing i know

it's too slow

and don't i know

if i don't get there

don't you say i told you so

it's too slow

don't i know

if i don't get there

don't you say i told you so

i don't want to hear it

'cause i can't keep a secret

i'll let the whole world know

but at least i'm moving

things might start improving

or else i might learn to improvise

but if it makes some difference

i will go the distance

even though i don't win the prize

there's one thing i know

it's too slow

and don't i know

don't i know

and if i don't get there

don't say i told you so

it's too slow

don't i know

and if i don't get there

don't you say that no

i don't want to know

no no no

but there you go!

there you go

it's too slow

it's too slow

to too slow

too slow
