I don't know if you were looking at me or not You probably smile like that all the time And I don't mean to bother you but I couldn't just walk by And not say hi And I know your name 'Cause everybody in here knows your name And you're not looking for anything right now So I don't wanna come on strong But don't get me wrong Your eyes are so intimidating My heart is pounding but It's just a conversation No girl I'm not gonna waste it You don't know me I don't know you but I want to And I don't wanna steal your freedom I don't wanna change your mind I don't have to make you love me I just want to take your time I don't wanna wreck your Friday I ain't gonna waste my lines I don't have to take your heart I just wanna take your time And I know it starts with hello And the next thing you know you're trying to be nice And some guys getting too close Trying to pick you up Trying to get you drunk And I'm sure one of your friends is about to come over here 'Cause she's supposed to save you from random guys That talk too much and wanna stay too long It's the same old song and dance but I think you know it well You could have rolled your eyes Told me to go to hell Could have walked away But you're still here And I'm still here Come on let's see where it goes I don't wanna steal your freedom I don't wanna change your mind I don't have to make you love me I just wanna take your time I don't have to meet your mother We don't have to cross that line I don't wanna steal your covers I just wanna take your time Woah, I don't wanna go home with you Woah, I just wanna be alone with you I don't wanna steal your freedom I don't wanna change your mind I don't have to make you love me I just wanna take your time And I don't wanna blow your phone up I just wanna blow your mind I don't have to take your heart I just wanna take your time No, I ain't gotta call you baby And I ain't gotta call you mine I don't have to take your heart I just wanna take your time, ooh
