Don't run so fast, love
  Slow down and let me catch you baby
  
  I've got a story to tell
  About a girl I know well
  She loved this guy
  Heaven knows why
  How could she love him
  
  Everytime this guy she'd see
  With another girl he'd be
  He didn't even notice
  She was crying
  
  Don't run so fast, love
  Slow down and let me catch you baby
  
  She'd choose her clothes with care
  She'd curl and set her hair
  And hope someday, that he'd look her way
  He was too busy
  
  He was always on the run
  Breaking hearts and havin' fun
  He couldn't see she was the one that needed him
  
  Each night she'd cry in fear
  That he would never hear
  Her heart and soul cry out
  I know it's love beyond a doubt
  
  By now you all must see
  This girl I know is me
  Though I feel like crying
  I won't stop trying to make him love me
  
  I've shown you a part of my soul
  But many things I've left untold
  Until he's mine to have and hold
  Forever
  
  Don't run so fast, love
  Slow down and let me catch you baby
  I need your arms around me tight, baby
  Slow down
  Slow down, baby
