You said you loved me but then you strayed
you burned your britches, threw my love away
you say you love but you don't hear what I say

Now every moment it's just like a fire
you burn your lovers just to take you higher
you say you love me but you don't hear what I say

Take it easy, take it slow
take it easy, let me go

Take it easy, oh my love
everytime I get this close it gets too rough
take it easy, oh my love
can't you tell by now I've had enough

Your high strong lies it's all that you know
now you're on fire frozen on the snow
don't get no closer 'cause your touch just leaves
cold

Our hungry passion is your emotion
and I'm a ship on a burning ocean
don't get no closer 'cause your touch just leaves
cold

Take it easy, take it slow
take it easy, let me go

Take it easy, oh my love
everytime I get this close it gets too rough
take it easy, oh my love
can't you tell by now I've had enough
