[Verse 1]
Hey Joe, let me make a few suggestions
Don't move to fast if you wanna make connections
Time out for a little conversation
Can't hurt if you're looking for a sweet sensation
Hold on, I'm a lady who knows better
Don't play no games if you really want to get her
Fool's rush; a wise man trades more easy
Lay back, and be sure you don't go jumping the gun
[Chorus]
You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge, don't jump your gun
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun
You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge, don't jump your gun
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun
[Verse 2]
Hey boy, you gotta ease down to it
Move up close, leave enough room to do it
She'll tell you when she's feelin good and ready
You'll know, and she'll show you how to come and get it
Hey Joe, said I hope that you hear me
It ain't so hard if you wanna get near me
Treat me just the way you'd treat that lady
Lay back, and be sure you don't go jumping the gun
[Chorus]
You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge, don't jump your gun
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun
You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge, don't jump your gun
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun
[Verse 2 - Repeat]
Hey boy, you gotta ease down to it
Move up close, leave enough room to do it
She'll tell you when she's feelin good and ready
You'll know, and she'll show you how to come and get it
Hey Joe, said I hope that you hear me
It ain't so hard if you wanna get near me
Treat me just the way you'd treat that lady
Lay back, and be sure you don't go jumping the gun
[Chorus]
You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge, don't jump your gun
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun
You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge, don't jump your gun
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun
You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge, don't jump your gun
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun
You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge, don't jump your gun
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun
