  • Try and keep it simple,
    Not too far away,
    Movin' slow, so simple,

    Never felt this way.

    Movin' sweet, so simple,
    Takin' time to say,
    The way to being, to being simple
    Never felt this way.

    Don't be lonely,
    Oh, my friends, forget the past.
    Sweet as sugar,
    When you're movin'
    When you're movin' slow at last
    It's what I like to do.

    How could it be so simple?
    To forget the way,
    A way to being, to being simple
    Never felt this way.

    Don't be lonely,
    No, no, no, forget the past.
    Sweet as sugar,
    When you're movin' slow
    Your movin' slow at last
    It's what I like to do.
    It's what I like to do.
    It's what I like to do.
    It's what I like to do.
    Don't be lonely, lonely, lonely
    It's what I like to do.

    Sweet as sugar, sugar, sugar
    It's what I like to do.
    It's what I like to do.
    Movin' slow, movin' slow at last
    It's what I like to do.
    It's what I like to do.
    Don't be lonely, lonely, lonely
    It's what I like to do.
    It's what I like to do.
    Sweet as sugar. Writer/s: STEPHEN RAY PERRY
