Lyrics
Eh oh mm
(Haayy, I know I know) yeah
Ooh woah (my)
Lot of time, la la lot of time
There is ain't a song right now
Go and see a tennis open league
And have you bring back your smile
You can ask, take direction from a man
To the wrong way for a hundred mile (oh yeah) sugar
Take a pill but you still feeling ills
But in your views, you're in denial
(And turn off all of the wrong) all of the wrong
(People all the while)
You need someone to talk to your soul just like a preacher (oh yeah)
School you in love just like a teacher
Balance your life alike a libra (ooh)
Someone took a preacher
Really, really need to
Gather your curves just like a racer (uhuh)
Give you some dough just like a baker
Serve you in bed just like a waiter
(Oh-ohh-woah)
All you really need to do
Is just slow down (slow down) baby
And open your eyes 'cause the love of your life
Is right there all the time (right there all the time)
But you're runnin' around, goin' in circles
Talkin' to strangers
Puttin' so much trust in all of the wrong (of)
Of the wrong (the wrong) people all the time
(I think loving on the wrong kind of paper)
You don't need expensive jewelry
To bring out your shine (oh no)
You don't need no psychiatrist
To see what's going on inside your mind (baby)
Doctor Stone said, "It's nothing on a heart"
But it still won't take a pain away
Because it's all of the wrong (all of the wrong)
People all the while
You need someone to talk to your soul just like a preacher (kokoma)
School you in love just like a teacher (school me)
Balance your life alike a libra
Someone took a preacher (preacher)
Really, really need to
Gather your curves just like a racer
Serve you some dough just like a baker
Serve you in bed just like a waiter
(Oh-ohh-woah)
All you really need to do (all you really need to do)
Is just slow down (oh yeah)
And open your eyes (open them) 'cause the love of your life
Is right there all the time (oh)
But you're runnin' around, (goin' in circles) goin' in circles (oh baby)
Talkin' to strangers, puttin' so much trust (so much trust)
In all of the wrong (of the wrong)
Of the wrong (of) people all the time
Spin your mind, twist it all the thirsts of things
Temporary pleasures don't last far too long
No, it don't (no, it don't)
It'll only scratch the surface
(Ooh) here's the answer to your every quest that needs
(Ooh baby) so, you better be careful
You don't need all those things
To make you feel better
Oh, all you really need to do (you need to do)
Is just slow down (slow down)
And open your eyes (open your eyes) 'cause the love of your life
(Ooh) is right there all the time (all of the time)
But you're runnin' around (runnin' around), goin' in circles (goin' in circles)
Talkin' to strangers, puttin' so much trust
In all of the wrong (the wrong time)
Of the wrong (the wrong) people all the time
All you really need to do
Is just slow down (yeah)
And open your eyes (open your eyes) 'cause the love of your life
Is right there all the time (oh but your)
But you're runnin' around (runnin' around), goin' in circles
Talkin' to strangers, puttin' so much trust
In all of the wrong (of the wrong time)
Of the wrong (the wrong) people all the time
All you really need to do (all you need to do)
Is just slow down (yeah)
And open your eyes (open your eyes) 'cause the love of your life
Is right there all the time (but your)
But you're runnin' around, goin' in circles
Talkin' to strangers, puttin' so much trust
In all of the wrong (of the wrong time)
Of the wrong (the wrong) people all the time
