Getting Nowhere Fast Songtext
von Alvin Lee

You′re getting nowhere fast
Why can't you let it be?
You gotta make it last my friend
How can I make you see?
You gotta take your time
You gotta 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 gotta do it if you wanna be a man
Crawling home at midnight ain′t no way to be
The first thing to himself a man must prove is free


You′re getting nowhere fast
You gotta take your time
Not everything's a blast my friend
You gotta feed the line
You′re getting nowhere fast
Why can't you let it be?
You gotta make it last my friend
How can I make you see?

Taking care of business ain′t no kind of plan
Sometimes you gotta do it if you wanna be a man
Crawling home at midnight ain't no way to be
The first thing to himself a man must prove is free

Prove that he is free
Prove that he is free

Taking care of business ain′t no kind of plan
Sometimes you gotta do it if you wanna be a man
Crawling home at midnight ain't no way to be
The first thing to himself a man must prove is free

Man must prove it
Man must prove it
Man's gotta take his time
Getting nowhere fast
