Getting Nowhere Fast - Alvin Lee

You’re getting nowhere fast

Why can’t you let it be

You got to make it last my friend

How can I make you see

You got to take your time

You got to play your part

You’re getting nowhere fast my friend

It’s over before you start

Taking care of business, ain’t no kind of plan

Sometimes you got to do it if you want to be a man

Crawling home at midnight, ain’t no way to be

First thing to himself a man must prove that he is free

You’re getting nowhere fast

You got to take your time

Not everything’s a blast my friend

You got to feed the line

You’re getting nowhere fast

Why can’t you let it be

You got to make it last my friend

How can I make you see

Taking care of business

Ain’t no kind of plan

Sometimes you got to do it

If you want to be a man

Crawling home at midnight

Ain’t no way to be

First thing to himself a man

Must prove that he is free

Prove that he is free, prove that he is free

Taking care of business

Ain’t no kind of plan

Sometimes you got to do it

If you want to be a man

Crawling home at midnight

Ain’t no way to be

First thing to himself a man

Must prove that he is free

Man must prove it

Man must prove it

A man’s got to take his time
