I was minding my own business
Trying to do some thinkin'
You came up beside me
And you asked me what was I drinkin'

Moments turn to seconds
Turn to minutes, turn to hours
Now we're back at my place
And we were kissin' in the shower, ooh

Puttin' the cards on the table
Take out that ring in your navel
It feels so right, I'm yours, you're mine
Hold up before this train goes runnin' wild

All I want is let the truth to be told
All that glitters isn't always gold
See, I been down this road before
I just wanna be sure, so can we

Sip some wine just a little bit?
Can we take our time just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?

Can we just relax just a little bit?
Can we just lay back just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?

I just want to make sure
That if we do this, we don't regret it
'Cause if the friction turns to static
Then we just might as well forget it

'Cause nowadays I attempt to
Take a good look before I leap in
'Cause I could skate all by myself
And through you can't believe it, no

Puttin' the cards on the table
Take out that ring in your navel
It feels so right, I'm yours, you're mine
Hold up before this train goes runnin' wild

All I want is let the truth to be told
All that glitters isn't always gold
See, I been down this road before
I just wanna be sure, so can we

Sip some wine just a little bit?
Can we take our time just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?

Can we just relax just a little bit?
Can we just lay back just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?

Don't think that I don't want you
And that you don't drive me crazy
But there's just too many "what-ifs"
There's far too many "maybes"

Just one step back, take a big breath
No pressure, baby, there's no stress
It feels so good
And I'm not sayin' that we can't do this, but can we

Sip some wine just a little bit?
Take our time just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?

Just relax just a little bit?
Just lay back just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay, yeah

Sip some wine just a little bit?
Take our time just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?

Just relax just a little bit?
Just lay back just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay, yeah

Sip some wine just a little bit?
Take our time just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay
Can we slow down just a little bit?

Just relax just a little bit?
Just lay back just a little bit?
If it's alright, if it's okay, yeah
