Take It Slow and Easy - Barbara Dane

I love my man, tell ya the reason why

He’s got that certain kinda look in his eye

When I met him he was nice and sweet

Now he wants to steal like a cop on the beat

Lay down, dady, won’t you take your rest

I call you through the night, why won’t you do your best

I’m askin' you why do you do me like you do

Double, double do love you

Aw, take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me

Take it slow and easy, easy as any man can me

I got one, two, three, four, five, six reason

Double-cross me, that’s an act of treason

Take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me

Now take it easy, «Good News»

Ah, the way you act you oughta be ashamed

You make the people think that you been insane

The kids are going hungry, wearing raggedy clothes

You run around town with a bunch of winos

Got up this morning, wouldn’t eat a bite

Drinkin' that bad wine took your appetite

I’m askin' you why do you do me like you do

Double, double do love you

Aw, take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me

Take it slow and easy, easy as any man can me

I got one, two, three, four, five, six reason

Double-cross me, that’s an act of treason

Take it slow and easy if you wanna get along with me

If you wanna get along with me

I know you wanna get along with me so take it easy

But, take it
