Keep it simple (Keep in time) Keep it smooth (Don't break the rhyme) Let it breathe (Just take your time) Keep it smooth (If you want to)
In this time of constant action When you're jarred for your reaction There's another way of getting through So many people in a hurry Pushing by you in their fury Trying to get there before you do
If you've ever been through customs Or police who say let's bust them It's the one who rushes who will lose You've got to control your panic Slow down, pause, and handle it It's the only way to get on through
So don't you rush it (Keep in time) Don't you push it (Don't break the rhyme) Don't you shove it (Just take your time) Don't you lose control (If you want to) You must keep it (Keep in time) Keep it cool (Don't break the rhyme) You must keep it (Just take your time) Keep it smooth (If you want to)
I like to wait for the afternoon As life rushes by Slow down If you pause for the noonday sun You won't even have to try Have you ever been in a traffic jam Have you ever needed a gram Ha Ha, I have, but I got over it Uh-huh, I got over it
Some people choose the darkness To imagine who their partner is Or to cover their embarrassment Well, there's a time of push and shove In both life and in love But for me, I'll take the afternoon
And don't rush it (Keep in time) I don't push it (Don't break the rhyme) I won't shove it (Just take your time) I won't lose control (If you want to) So don't you lose it (Keep in time) Don't you push it (Don't break the rhyme) Don't you shove it (Just take your time) And just keep it smooth (If you want to)
