Slow Down (Get A Grip)

(albüm: Life, Stranger Than Fiction - 2001)

Slow down, get a grip, ain't this ironic?
Slow down and get a grip, I betcha didn't think it would come to this
Ain't this ironic?

I don't mean to be abrupt, but I know there's something on your mind
So before you interrupt baby, let me tell you what's really going on
It's not about our history, when and who we've slept with in the past
It's all about discovery, getting to know and love me for me

Slow down, get a grip, ain't this ironic?
Slow down and get a grip, I betcha didn't think it would come to this
Ain't this ironic?

You gotta face it, it's a mess, it's a war zone, right now I gotta be on my own
I ain't heading for a breakdown sure as my name is Sarah Brown
Yes, I need to be alone, out there on my own
Need to water all my roots, until my spirit has grown

Got to do, got to do, I know I've really got to do it
Got to be bold, got to be bold, be bold
Got to do, got to do, I know I've really got to do it
Got to move on, got to move, move on
Soon the caged bird will have flown

Slow down, get a grip, ain't this ironic?
Slow down and get a grip, I betcha didn't think it would come to this
Ain't this ironic?

You gotta face it, it's a mess, it's a war zone, right now I gotta be on my own
I ain't heading for a breakdown, sure as my name is Sarah Brown
You gotta face it, it's a mess, it's a war zone, right now you gotta be on your own
You ain't heading for a breakdown, sure as your name is! Sarah Brown

S.a.r.a.h. B.r.o.w.n. from the soles of my boots to my folicle roots
I ain't heading for a breakdown
You were always the one asking for space
Saying maybe it's time we tried something new
While you were thinking of someone you knew
Ain't that ironic, ironic, ironic

Listen to me, don't listen to me
It really doesn't matter cos the girl's got to get it on
Get it on, get it on, get it on
Alright
