[Verse 1]
Pardon, pardon me please
Pardon me please, but could you lend an ear
I've got something I want someone to hear
You see – I'm tired, I want to settle down
If you know, please tell me where true love's found

[Chorus]
So I can turn my life around
Deal with what I feel
The feeling is touching what is real
If I'm moving too fast
Can you slow me down
I'm searching to find what is mine

[Verse 2]
Pardon, pardon me please
Pardon me please, but could you spend some time
I've got something heavy all on my mind

[Chorus]
So I can turn my life around
I gotta deal with what I feel
Feeling is touching what is real, ooh-hoo
If I'm moving too fast
Won't you kindly slow me down
I'm searching to find what is mine, ooh baby

[Bridge]
Kindly slow me down, if I'm moving too fast, ooh baby
If I'm moving too fast, kindly slow me down
I'm searching to find what is mine
So I can turn my life around, deal with what I feel
Feeling is touching what is real

[Outro]
So I can turn my life around
I wanna deal with what I feel
Feeling is touching what is real, ooh baby
If I'm moving too fast
Won't you kindly slow me down
I'm searching to find what is mine, ooh sweet baby
So I can turn my life around, deal with what I feel
Feeling is touching what is real
If I'm moving too fast
Won't you kindly slow me down...
