Mama Said (Take it slow)

(verse 1) This live can be hard, my dear, But we must learn to take a moment to breath, Observe the situation and analyze, Before we act out of fear or surprise, Mama told me, be careful and be ready, Mama said, better take it slow, No rush, just be sure you make like the water, And go with the flow. (pre-chorus) We don’t always need to be first, We don’t need to be greedy, When the life is too hard to bear, Take it slow and steady, (Chorus) Take it slow. Oh, mama said, take it slow, There’s no rush if you don’t need it, There’s no need if all it’s about is speed. (verse 2) Ey, ey, ey, Mama told me many a story! She said when life is tough and your eyes get weary, Just think of how the gentle wind blows, Open your mind and think clearly, There’s no need to get ahead, Let the emotion go, and hand it over to the good Lord instead, Just because you want it, doesn’t mean you need it, (pre-chorus) We don’t always need to be first, We don’t need to be greedy, When the life is too hard to bear, Take it slow and steady, (Chorus) Take it slow. Oh, mama said, take it slow, There’s no rush if you don’t need it, There’s no need if all it’s about is speed.
