You found me by the kitchen door And said, “We’re running late” The music pulled you toward the floor I said, “Well, let ’em wait” You laid your purse across a chair And gave that little grin I held out my hand—“Come, ma chère” You took it. I pulled you in You said, “You always get your way” I said, “That can’t be true” I hadn’t planned on you to stay Now look who’s leading who You worry like we’re running late Relax, let’s take it slow Let the world wait I know where I want to go We got all the time we need And we’ll get there, eventually You took your phone out of your purse “What should I tell Lou?” “Tell her I’m a bad influence” You laughed—“That’s nothing new” You sent your message and turned to me “You’d better make this right” “Baby, I'm at my best under pressure” You smiled—“better hold on tight” You said, “You always get your way” I said, “That can’t be true” I hadn’t planned on you to stay Now look who’s leading who You worry like we’re running late Relax, let’s take it slow Let the world wait I know where I want to go We got all the time we need And we’ll get there, eventually Your purse is still hanging on that chair Your body's pressed against mine We’re getting nowhere fast, ma chère And making damn good time You grabbed your purse and caught my sleeve Then danced me out the door That look you threw across your shoulder Exactly what I was looking for I barely got my jacket on By the time you reached the street Now, I was following your lead As fast as I could move my feet You said, “You always get your way” I said, “That can’t be true” I hadn’t planned on you to stay Now look who’s leading who You worry like we’re running late Relax, let’s take it slow Let the world wait I know where I want to go We got all the time we need And we’ll get there, eventually What’s your hurry, ma chère? We got all the time we need
