You can walk, but please don’t run
It’s hard to do when you’re having fun
But there’s a reason we don’t race
When you’re with the friends
It’s not the time or place

Don’t run so fast
Take your time, and make things last
Learn to love the things you do
Just don’t run fast

You’ve got things you have to do
People to serve, who depend on you​
But don’t forget why you’re here
Learn to love the friends
Let them know you care

Don’t run so fast
Take your time, and make things last
Learn to love the things you do
Just don’t run fast

You can run to someone’s door
Is there someone home?
Well, you’re not real sure
But look around and see ev’ryone
People walking by
Can you talk to one?

Don’t run so fast
Take your time, and make things last
Learn to love the things you do
Just don’t run fast
Oh, just don’t run fast!
