[Intro]
Slow down, sister
'Cause I just can't love you
But I just can't get you off my mind
Come on

[Verse 1]
Well, I ain't your fool
I'm not falling
I'm not falling in love with you
I play by my rules
And believe me
You don't want me too close to you

[Pre-Chorus]
And even though you look so fine
I've been on this broken road one too many times

[Chorus]
So slow down, sister
'Cause I just can't love you
But I just can't get you off my mind
Oh, and Lord knows I need you
But I just don't want to
Put this rusted heart up on the line
[Verse 2]
I've heard people say
That I'm crazy
That I'm crazy for avoiding you
But honey, I got my freedom
And my reasons
All the reasons for what I do

[Pre-Chorus]
But that last kiss just did me in
And I don't want to look at you as something more than a friend

[Chorus]
Oh, so slow down, sister
'Cause I just can't love you
But I just can't get you off my mind
Oh, and Lord knows I need you
But I just don't want to
Put this rusted heart up on the line

[Bridge]
Woah, slow down, sister
I gotta make you mine
All I'm asking for is just a little time
A little more time
[Chorus]
So slow down, sister
'Cause I just can't love you
But I just can't get you off my mind
Oh, and Lord knows I need you
But I just don't want to
Put this rusted heart up on the line

[Outro]
Slow down, sister
Woo-hoo-hoo
Yeah, uh-huh
We'll just slow down, slow down, slow down
Just one time
