Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I just need a little time
I can get myself together
Give me half a chance
Baby to collect my mind
Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I need a little room to breathe
Slow down, slow down
We can turn it around
Baby you don't have to leave

I just wanna call a time out, baby
Things are going way too fast
I've been having trouble keeping up with you
I don't think I'm gonna last
I love you like there's no tomorrow
But I've gotta make it through today
So have a little patience with the shape I'm in
You don't have to throw it all away

Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I just need a little time
I can get myself together
Give me half a chance
Baby to collect my mind
Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I need a little room to breathe
Slow down, slow down
We can turn it around
Baby you don't have to leave

And everything about this love we share
There's something that I can't explain
And everytime I think I get somewhere
The rug comes out from under and I'm goin' down the drain

Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I just need a little time
I can get myself together
Give me half a chance
Baby to collect my mind
Wait a minute, hey just a minute
I need a little room to breathe
Slow down, slow down
We can turn it around
Slow down, slow down
Baby you don't have to leave
