Slow Down Sister

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
