Ya wanna get to know the girl inside The girl you think I am
But you just can`t seem to find the time To let me be myself
I know what I want, but I don`t know what I need
You`re pulling me to pieces like a puppet on a string
You gotta slow things down, bring the tempo `round, return to zero
Just let me catch my breath, get the rhythm back in my step
Ya say you know your way around the block You know what women want
You give me everything you`ve got What`s taking me so long
I know what I want, but I don`t know what I need
Not looking for excuses I`m just looking out for me
You gotta slow things down, bring the tempo `round, return to zero
Oh, let me catch my breath, get the rhythm back in my step
Rap: Everybody singing like it I want it
It`s the perfect time to read the signs The ones I`m sending out
I`m telling you my story It`s all up to you now
You know what I want, but Do you know what I need
We can find the answers, boy If you take your time with me
You gotta slow things down, bring the tempo `round, return to zero
Just let me catch my breath, get the rhythm back in my step
You gotta slow things down, bring the tempo `round, return to zero
Oh, let me catch my breath, get the rhythm back in my step
