Girl, from the moment that he spoke your name,
He started a fire deep in your heart.
Girl, before you give into the flame,
You better be sure from the very start.

You better look before you leap,
Still waters run deep.
You better slow down, too fast and you’ll drown,
Take a good look around,
You better look before you leap.

Girl, I thought that we had it made,
The way that you looked at me when I held your hand last night.
Girl, how quick did your memory fade,
The minute he looked at you when I was no where in site.

You better look before you leap,
Still waters run deep.
You better slow down, too fast and you’ll drown,
Take a good look around,
You better look before you leap.

Letting go,
I don’t think I could fly without you.
I don’t know,
Where I would land.

Girl, for now I’ll just wait and see,
How far you will travel to places I’ll never be.
Girl, I pray that eventually,
The road that you’ve taken will lead back to me.

You better look before you leap,
Still waters run deep.
You better slow down, too fast and you’ll drown,
Take a good look around,
You better look before you leap.
