Story behind the song
Take It Slow was the very first single that I ever released professionally. I re-recorded this song in the style of the old 50's and 60's Soul/R&B singers who are my Dad's favorites. I dedicate this song to my Dad for his 80th birthday! Take it slow daddy-o! The day that I was in the studio recording my vocals I believe I was visited by the presence and spirit of one of my mentors Bobby Womack. He was guiding me with all my ad-libs! Thanks Bobby! Coincidentally my Dad, Robert has always gone by the name Bob.
Lyrics
Take It Slow (Craymo) Life is a riddle That goes on and on You get stuck in the middle That's when you gotta be strong They say that time is a teaser That plays with your mind But if you work to make it easier You know life is gonna be fine Taking chances everyday It's time to raise the stakes The only changes that we make Is when we learn to make mistakes You've got to love to live And live to love It gets harder everyday Learn to live and give to love It's the price we have to pay You gotta say Hey (Hey) Take It Slow (Slow) You gotta say Hey (Hey) Take It Slow (Slow) Love is the answer To the questions in your heart The lonely romancer Whose soul that won't depart Time is a mirror Reflection of your mind To make the love light clearer You gotta polish up that shine I can see you standing there And time is standing still The only thing that's holding you Is wind against your will Take my hand I'll lead you to A secret rendezvous Give to me I'll give to you And love will see us through You gotta say Hey (Hey) Take It Slow (Slow) You gotta say Hey (Hey) Take It Slow (Slow) I said chill, take it slow That's how we like to go Relax, what's your hurry No need to be in a fury Life is going fast You need to make each moment last Slow down, go with the flow Kick it back and take it slow Yeah you gotta take it slow That's right Feel funky, I feel funky Take it slow, yeah Here we go Taking chances everyday It's time to raise the stakes The only changes that we make Is when we learn to make mistakes You've got to love to live And live to love It gets harder everyday Learn to live and give to love It's the price we have to pay You gotta say Hey (Hey) Take It Slow (Slow) You gotta say Hey (Hey) Take It Slow (Slow) (Repeat) (c)1990 Craymo Music, BMI
