(Rodney Crowell/Hank Devito)



Wait a minute (wait a minute)

Hey just a minute (hey just a minute)

I just need a little time

I can get myself together

Give me half the chance

Baby, to collect my mind

Wait a minute (wait a minute)

Hey just a minute (hey just a minute)

I need a little room to breathe

Slow down, slow down

We can turn it around

Baby, you don't have to leave



I just want to call a time out, baby

Things are moving way too fast

Well, I'm having trouble keeping up with you

I don't think I'm gonna last

I love you like there's no tomorrow, honey

But I gotta make it through today

So have a little patience with the shape I'm in

We don't have to throw it all away



Wait a minute (wait a minute)

Hey just a minute (hey just a minute)

I just need a little time

I can get myself together

Give me half the chance

Baby, to collect my mind

Wait a minute (wait a minute)

Hey just a minute 

(hey just a minute)I need a little room to breathe

Slow down, slow down

We can turn it around

Baby, you don't have to leave



(Oooooo, bop, bop)

(Oooooo, bop, bop)

(Oooooo, bop, bop)

(Oooooo, bop, bop)



Well, everything about this love we share

Is something that I can't explain

And every time I think I get somewhere

The rug comes out from under

And I'm going down the drain



Wait a minute (wait a minute)

Hey just a minute (hey just a minute)

Things are getting out of hand

I'm running 'round in circles, keeping up with you

I don't think you understand

Wait a minute (wait a minute)

Hey just a minute (hey just a minute)

I need a little room to breathe

Slow down, slow down

We can turn it around

Baby, you don't have to leave



Slow down, slow down

We can turn it around

Baby, you don't have to leave
