[Verse 1]
I know what's on your mind
You feel you're wasting time
Want to talk about it?
You feel there's something wrong
Don't feel like holding on
You better think about it
You say you just can't see
Don't lay that hurt on me
What I'm trying, baby
Got something on my mind
Something I've got to find
I'm on the move, baby

[Chorus]
You see I can't slow down
Got to keep moving, baby
Can't slow down
No, I can't slow down
Oh, can't slow down
Got to keep moving on
Oh baby, oh

[Verse 2]
I'm out here on the run
Trying to get things done
Can you hear me, baby?
You think my love's nowhere
You think I just don't care
Are you kidding, baby?
Oh, don't make me play no games
Too hard to just stay sane
You know that time won't wait
Why should I hesitate? Got to do it, baby

[Chorus]
You see I can't slow down
Got to keep moving, baby
Can't slow down
No, I can't slow down
Stop it, baby, no, can't slow down
Got to keep moving on
Oh, oh baby, oh

[Bridge]
I'm working hard trying to pull it together
You know I've got to right now
'Cause girl I can't quit once I get started
I've got to make it somehow, OW!

I got to keep moving, I can't stop moving
I got to keep moving, I can't stop
I got to keep moving, I can't stop moving
I got to keep moving, I can't stop
I got to keep moving, I can't stop moving
I got to keep moving, I can't stop
I got to keep moving, I can't stop moving
I got to keep moving, I can't stop

[Bridge]
Can't slow down
Can't slow down
Can't slow down
Can't slow down, baby

[Verse 3]
Ooh girl, I'm all fired up
Just can't get enough, girl, of it
Girl, I'm on the one
Got to keep on keeping on, oh yeah

[Outro]
Oh, see I can't slow down
Got to keep moving, baby
Can't slow down
Oh, no I can't slow down
Got to keep moving, baby
Can't slow down
Ooh, can't slow down
OW, can't slow down
Alright, can't slow down
Runnin', runnin', baby
Can't slow down
Can't slow down
Got to keep movin'
Can't slow down
Oh yeah, girl, can't slow down
Can't slow down
No, I just can't slow down
