Intro (spoken / ad-libs)
Yeah…
I mean—
I’m just saying
Verse 1
If I were you, I’d watch that smile
It looks innocent for a while
She doesn’t rush, she doesn’t try
She just stays right there, real quiet
Everybody says she’s fine
Says you’re reading too much into it
But she leans in, then leans back
Like she knows you’ll follow through with it
Pre-Chorus
She don’t push
She don’t chase
She just lets it
Play out
Chorus
If I were you, I’d slow down, slow down
She pulls you in, then ghosts out, ghosts out
You say it’s nothing, laugh it off now
Till you’re wide awake at your place
If I were you, I’d slow down, slow down yeah
She’s sweet right up till she’s not now
You think you’re good, now you’re locked out
Yeah, you’re already caught in it
(Ad-libs: “mm-hmm”, “told you”, “just wait”)
Verse 2
You say she’s chill, say she’s cool
But you’re breaking every rule
She texts back like she’s bored
Still you’re staring at your phone
She shows up like nothing’s wrong
Leaves early, lipstick on your collar
You say you’re done, say you’re done
Then you’re calling her tomorrow
Pre-Chorus
She don’t lie
She don’t fight
She just smiles
And lets you
Chorus
If I were you, I’d slow down, slow down
She pulls you in, then ghosts out, ghosts out, yeah yeah
You say it’s nothing, laugh it off now
Till you’re wide awake at your place
If I were you, I’d slow down, slow down
She’s sweet right up till she’s not now
You think you’re good, then you’re locked out
Yeah, you’re already caught in it
Post-Chorus (chant / loop)
Slow down, slow down
Yeah, you should slow down
Slow down, slow down
(I’m just saying)
Bridge
She’s not crazy
She’s calculated
And you’re not dumb
You’re just impatient
You’ll blame the night
Blame bad timing
She’ll be fine
Already smiling
(Ad-libs: “don’t look at me”, “you knew”, “uh-huh”)
Final Chorus (bigger)
If I were you, I’d slow down, slow down
She pulls you in, then ghosts out, ghosts, ohh yeah
You say it’s nothing, laugh it off now
Till you’re wide awake at your place
If I were you, I’d slow down, slow down
She’s sweet right up till she’s not now
You think you’re good, now you’re locked out
Yeah, you’re already caught in it
Outro (repeat / fade)
Slow down, slow down
Don’t say you didn’t know now
Slow down, slow down
Yeah… I warned you
