Slow down sister cause I just can't love ya
But I just can't get you off my mind
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
Chorus
So slow down sister cause I just can't love ya
But I just can't get you off my mind
Oh and Lord knows I need ya
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
Repeat Chorus
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
Repeat Chorus
The little white house by the railway line
The one we picked out
We even put the payment down
What about the promise that you made
To stay with me till your dying day
Said you'd never go away
Are they just things that people say
The preacher stopped by the house last Tuesday
Asked if I was fine
We sat and talked a while
He tried to make me smile
But it's so hard to show my face round lately
In this small town
I guess they heard the news
'Bout me and you
It's three a.m. and I can't sleep at all
I wonder where you are tonight and do I ever cross your mind
Repeat Chorus
Well my momma won't stop crying
She wonders what went wrong
Could I have loved a little deeper
Or did I hold on too strong
Repeat Chorus
