Slow Poke
Love's Patient Tempo: Unveiling the Meaning Behind Pee Wee King's 'Slow Poke'
Lyrics
You keep me waitin' till it's gettin' aggravatin'
You consistently make me wait until it becomes irritating
You're a slow poke
You exhibit a slow and leisurely pace
I wait and worry but you never seem to hurry
I wait and feel anxious, but you never seem in a rush
You're a slow poke
You are a slow-moving person
Time means nothin' to you
Time holds no importance to you
I wait and then
I wait, and then
Late again
You are late once again
Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten
Whether it's eight o'clock, nine o'clock, or quarter to ten
Why should I linger every time you snap your finger
Why should I linger every time you signal or beckon?
Little slow poke?
You, my dear, are a little slow-moving person
Why can't you hasten when you see the time's a-wastin'?
Why can't you hurry when you realize time is being wasted?
You're a slow poke, dear
You are a slow-moving person, my dear
Why should I keep tryin' to change you?
Why should I persist in trying to change you?
It's not the thing to do
Attempting to change you is not the right course of action
I guess I'll have to learn to be a slow poke too
I suppose I'll have to learn to be slow-moving as well
You keep me waitin' till it's gettin' aggravatin'
You consistently make me wait until it becomes irritating
You're a slow poke
You exhibit a slow and leisurely pace
I wait and worry but you never seem to hurry
I wait and feel anxious, but you never seem in a rush
You're a slow poke
You are a slow-moving person
Time means nothin' to you
Time holds no importance to you
I wait and then
I wait, and then
Late again
You are late once again
Eight o'clock, nine o'clock, quarter to ten
Whether it's eight o'clock, nine o'clock, or quarter to ten
Why should I linger every time you snap your finger
Why should I linger every time you signal or beckon?
Little slow poke?
You, my dear, are a little slow-moving person
Why can't you hasten when you see the time's a-wastin'?
Why can't you hurry when you realize time is being wasted?
You're a slow poke, dear
You are a slow-moving person, my dear
Why should I keep tryin' to change you?
Why should I persist in trying to change you?
It's not the thing to do
Attempting to change you is not the right course of action
I guess I'll have to learn to be a slow poke too
I suppose I'll have to learn to be slow-moving as well
