Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down You've got too much talent I see you through those bloodshot eyes There's a cure, you've found it Slow motion, sparks, you've caught that chill Now don't deny it, but boys will be boys, oh, yes, they will They don't wanna define it Just give up the game and get into me If you're looking for thrills then get cold feet Oh, no, I do not hook up, up, I go slow So if you want me, I don't come cheap Keep your hand in my hand, your heart on your sleeve Oh, no, I do not hook up, up, I fall deep 'Cause the more that you try the harder I'll fight to say goodnight I can't cook, no, but I can clean Up the mess she left Lay your head down and feel the beat As I kiss your forehead This may not last but this is now So love the one you're with You wanna chase but you're chasin' your tail A quick fix won't ever get you well Oh, no, I do not hook up, up, I go slow So if you want me, I don't come cheap Keep your hand in my hand, your heart on your sleeve Oh, no, I do not hook up, up, I fall deep 'Cause the more that you try the harder I'll fight to say 'Cause I feel, the distance Between us, could be over With the snap of your finger, Oh, no! Oh, no, I do not hook up, up, I go slow So if you want me, I don't come cheap Keep your hand in my hand, your heart on your sleeve Oh, no, I do not hook up, up, I fall deep 'Cause the more that you try the harder I'll fight To say, 'cause the more that you try the harder I'll fight, to say goodnight Oh, sweetheart, put the bottle down 'Cause you don't wanna miss out
