Kia mau koe kia ita You better strap in tight
Kei rutua e te aroha Cuz love can be a bumpy ride
Ka reka te ārita One minute your high
Kātahi ka whakarerea te manawa The next you crash and burn without one goodbye
Kaua rā e whakawhiti ara So baby don’t switch lanes on me
me he waka tītahataha Switching like a switchblade you see
Kaua e piko kia kotahi mai rā Don’t curve me be straight with me
mō taku hē i taku kōpekapeka I know I been swerving off every which way sorry
Pre Chorus
Me āta haere tāua, kaua e whāwhai We should slow it down for a minute I ain’t in no rush
Kei takariri tāua, kei mamae Don’t wanna lose control and get crushed
Chorus
Kia urungi autō Baby we should drive slow
Kia tatari, e kō Cuz these things take time though
ā tōna wā ka mōhio Girl there’s no telling where we might go
Kei whea te ara tika anō But I know we on the right road
Kia urungi autō Baby we should drive slow
Kia tatari, e kō Cuz these things take time though
Ka pai atu, ka pai mai I like you, you like me
Kua ū te whakaaro That’s one thing that I know
Autō o o o o o o ō Slow
o o o o o o ō
o o o o o o ō
Kia urungi autō Drive Slow
Autō o o o o o o ō Slow
o o o o o o ō
Kia tatari, e kō take your time
Kia urungi autō Drive Slow
Verse 2
Ka tae atu (tāua) mā runga i te ākau roa We still gonna get to where we’re going I’d just rather take the scenic route
ka aro ki te haerenga koia, ka ngākau koa Cuz it’s about the ride not the destination girl I see this now
Ka rere takitahi Yes we gon’ find our flow
Kia tupu te aroha nui We just needed some time to grow
He ringa hei tia, he ringa hei miri One hand on the wheel one on your thigh you know
Kia eke pai, engari kia pōturi And you switch gears every time you ride it slow
Pre Chorus
Me āta haere tāua, kaua e whāwhai We should slow it down for a minute I ain’t in no rush
Kei takariri tāua, kei mamae Don’t wanna lose control and get crushed
Chorus
Kia urungi autō Baby we should drive slow
Kia tatari, e kō Cuz these things take time though
ā tōna wā ka mōhio Girl there’s no telling where we might go
Kei whea te ara tika anō But I know we on the right road
Kia urungi autō Baby we should drive slow
Kia tatari, e kō Cuz these things take time though
Ka pai atu, ka pai mai I like you, you like me
Kua ū te whakaaro That’s one thing that I know
Autō o o o o o o ō Slow
o o o o o o ō
o o o o o o ō
Kia urungi autō Drive Slow
Autō o o o o o o ō Slow
o o o o o o ō
Kia tatari, e kō take your time
Kia urungi autō Drive Slow
Bridge
I know things could get bumpy a little complex baby don’t sweat
Kei ruturutu, kei uaua, engari hei aha
You and me could just cruise off into the sunset
Me huri ki te tōnga o te rā
Chorus
Kia urungi autō Baby we should drive slow
Kia tatari, e kō Cuz these things take time though
ā tōna wā ka mōhio Girl there’s no telling where we might go
Kei whea te ara tika anō But I know we on the right road
Kia urungi autō Baby we should drive slow
Kia tatari, e kō Cuz these things take time though
Ka pai atu, ka pai mai I like you, you like me
Kua ū te whakaaro That’s one thing that I know
Autō o o o o o o ō Slow
o o o o o o ō
o o o o o o ō
Kia urungi autō Drive Slow
Autō o o o o o o ō Slow
o o o o o o ō
Kia tatari, e kō take your time
Kia urungi autō Drive Slow
