Say sister, whoa sister!
You've been travellin' too fast!
I warn ya, yes warn ya,
Say how long will it last?

You'd better slow down
Before there is a showdown,
Or else our love is gonna break down
If you don't slow down!

Baby, I've told ya,
I do not wanna scold ya,
These arms of mine just wanna hold ya,
Intil you slow down.

You see a handsome face,
And you forget your place
Here beside me;
While all I do is pray
That there will come a day
When you are free.

Free, free to love me,
No other loves above me;
Sweetheart, you know that you can have me
If you slow down!

You see a handsome face,
And you forget your place
Here beside me;
While all I do is pray
That there will come a day
When you are free.

Free, free to love me,
No other loves up above me;
Sweetheart, you know that you can have me
If you please slow down, down, down, down well!
