Slow down Give me just a moment I'm so grown now in my own apartment Cooking my own dinner spaghetti for one Though, I'm gettin' older My life has just begun I wish it would slow down, even for a second I'm so old now, left my adolescence Going out to parties and getting way too drunk Think I found somebody But don't think that it's love I wish it would slow down Slow down, mm-mm Someday, I won't be in my twenties In a new state, maybe even married I'll have my own children They're tired of being young They'll ask me about their futures I'll tell my little ones Baby, slow down Slow down Slow down
