[Verse 1]
You know, love is terrifying
Girl, you're always crying
You know I love you, oh yeah
And you're always vilifying
And I'm always testifying
You know I love you, oh yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "Slow down a minute
Won't you let me catch my breath?
You're not the one that broke my heart
But I'm afraid to take that step"

[Chorus]
I said, Maybe don't talk for a minute
Take a little time to express yourself(express yourself)
Maybe don't cry for a minute
Take a little time to collect yourself(collect yourself)
Ooh honey, collect yourself

[Verse 2]
I've been waiting night and day
And know I'll wait until you say
That you trust me, oh yeah
I've been waiting night and day
And know I'll wait until you say
That you love me, oh yeah
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "Slow down a minute
Won't you let me catch my breath?
You're not the one that broke my heart
But I'm afraid to take that step"

[Chorus]
I said, Maybe don't talk for a minute
Take a little time to express yourself(express yourself)
Maybe don't cry for a minute
Take a little time to collect yourself(collect yourself)
Ooh honey, collect yourself

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]
She said, "Slow down a minute
Won't you let me catch my breath?
You're not the one that broke my heart
But I'm afraid to take that step"

[Chorus]
I said, Maybe don't talk for a minute
Take a little time to express yourself(express yourself)
Maybe don't cry for a minute
Take a little time to collect yourself(collect yourself)
Ooh honey, collect yourself
[Outtro]
Ooh honey, collect yourself
Ooh honey, collect yourself
Ooh honey, collect yourself
Come on, c'mon
Wooh
So, ooh
So, ooh
Wooh
Hey!
