Slow down sister 'cause I just can't love you
But I just can't get you off my mind
Come on

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

And even though you look so fine
I've been on this broken road one too many times

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 upon the line

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

But that last kiss just did me in
And I don't wanna look at you as something more than a friend

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 upon the line

Oh, slow down sister
I've got to make you mine
Oh, all I'm asking for is just a little time
A little more time

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 upon the line

Slow down sister
