Slow down

Girl, what's the hurry?

Love can wait if you're worried

Then I'll try to ease your mind

You say we're losing time

But I've got to find

A way to convince you.



I've got cause to be wary

For so long I've had to carry

The weight of another soul

You say I won't let go

But how do you know I can?



Give me some time now

I've just got to find how

I'm going to forget her

And talk myself into believing

That she and I are through

Then maybe I'll fall for you.



You're just

Just what I've needed

But I'd be

Unfair and conceited

To say you're the only one

Woman, I'm on the run

From something I have begun

And can't seem to finish.



Although it hasn't been recent

I still think it wouldn't be decent

To let you believe in me

So soon

I've got to make you see

What she meant to me

So please



Give me some time, now

I've just got to find how

I'm going to forget her

And talk myself into believing

That she and I are through

Then maybe I'll fall for you.
