Slowly

(álbum: Ballads From The Revolution - 1998)

She called me up all excited said she had a date
With him Saturday night and she just can't wait
I thought about his reputation and the things that he's done
I wouldn't wish him on anyone
I said to her when you're with him better watch your step
Because I know this boy he's got a pretty bad rep
I only hope he doesn't end up bringing you down
He's been breaking hearts all over town

Slowly you can pick yourself back up
When that situation's got you down again
Slowly you can pick yourself back up
Girl, you've got to save it for another day
Because you don't need him anyway
It's just a game they play

I know this won't come easy girl
I know that it's hard
And deep down inside it leaves an awful scar
And to say I told you so
Won't help to ease the pain inside you so
Just remember that there's plenty of boys out there
Who could treat you much better And remember I care
It just won't do to see you hurting so bad
I knew that boy was going to leave you sad

Slowly you can pick yourself back up
When that situation's got you down again
Slowly you can pick yourself back up
Girl, you've got to save it for another day
Because you don't need him anyway
It's just a game they play

Slowly you can pick yourself back up
When that situation's got you down again
Slowly you can pick yourself back up
Girl, you've got to save it for another day
Because you don't need him anyway
It's just a game they play
