[Chorus]
I'm a little bit slow to catch on
But when I do, I'm caught on
A little bit slow to move on
But your baby is a' moving on, on
Your baby is a' moving on

[Verse 1]
Well, I couldn't see the light for the brightness
Of the sweet little smile you gave me
I couldn't see how you were cheating' on me
But finally I'm a catching on, on
Finally, I'm a' catching on

[Chorus]
I'm a little bit slow to catch on
But when I do, I'm caught on
A little bit slow to move on
But your baby is a' moving on, on
Your baby is a' moving on

[Verse 2]
I couldn't see the hurt for the happy
And at first that's the way you made me
It took me a while to get your style
But finally I'm a' catching' on, on
Finally I'm a' catching' on

[Chorus]
I'm a little bit slow to catch on
But when I do, I'm caught on
A little bit slow to move on
But your baby is a' moving on, on
Your baby is a' moving on

[Verse 3]
You say you can't see the light for the darkness
That surrounds you since I'm gone
You can't eat or sleep cause you're lonely
Well, finally you're catching on, on
Finally you're a' catching on

[Chorus]
I'm a little bit slow to catch on
But when I do, I'm caught on
A little bit slow to move on
But your baby is a' moving on, on
Your baby is a' moving on
I'm a little bit slow to catch on
But when I do, I'm caught on
A little bit slow to move on
But your baby is a' moving on, on
Your baby is a' moving on

Dolly Rebecca Parton (born January 19, 1946) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, actress, author, and philanthropist, best known for her work in country music

Beginning her career as a child performer, Parton issued a few modestly successful singles from 1959 through the mid-1960s, showcasing her distinctive soprano voice. She came to greater prominence in 1967 as a featured performer on singer Porter Wagoner’s weekly television program; their first duet single, a cover of Tom Paxton’s “The Last Thing on My Mind”, was a top-ten hit on the country singles charts, and led to several successful albums before they ended their partnership in 1974. Moving towards mainstream pop music, Parton’s 1977 single “Here You Come Again” was a success on both the country and pop charts. A string of pop-country hits followed into the mid-1980s, the most successful being her 1981 hit 9 to 5" (from the film of the same name), and her 1983 duet with Kenny Rogers “Islands in the Stream”, both of which topped the U.S. pop and country singles charts. A pair of albums recorded with Linda Ronstadt and Emmylou Harris were among her later successes. In the late 1990s, Parton returned to classic country/bluegrass with a series of acclaimed recordings
