Slow + Steady

Oh, I took everything that we were capable of
And I mixed it up with everything that we are
Ooh, it got my heart to start Now it's running, oh, how it's running
Oh, but you can't outsmart your heart I wouldn't even know where to start

Slow and steady wins the race Well, as for me, unfortunately
I didn't learn to keep an even pace
When I was just a little boy
Oh, my mother, she planted a seed and I never knew it
She watered and grew It and took over me
She would call me lazy, then she made me late for everything

I didn't know what to think, I never knew what to do
I didn't know if I would make it up to you
Now I say it again, at the risk of sounding repetitive
Cause baby, it's clear to me (is it clear to you?)
We don't do well when you're competitive
Run away just as fast as you can Well, as for me, unfortunately
I never learned to be a better man
Acceptance only happens in your mind
Well, it ain't easy to be nice to people who behave so unkind
Ooh, I took everything Ooh, that we were capable of
And I mixed it up with everything that we are

I mixed it up with everything that we are
I mixed it up with everything that we are
I mixed it up
