[Chorus]
I ain't lookin' for a steady thing
I ain't lookin' for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready babe
I'm still lookin' for some better days
I don't wanna give you everything
I just wanna make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away
[Verse 1]
Don't assume 'cause I'm a woman
That I'll fall in love
Don't expect I'm young and need to be took care of
Don't wanna hear you've got what I need
'Cause how would you know before we speak?
You've gotta understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
You've gotta take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
'Cause I get a feeling I won't let it start
[Chorus]
'Cause I ain't lookin' for a steady thing
I ain't lookin' for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready, babe
I'm still lookin' for some better days
I don't wanna give you everything
I just wanna make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away
[Verse 2]
Please believe me
I've been down this road and back again
Learned my lesson and it was that love is not my friend
For the day I put my trust in you
Would be the day I say "I do"
Don't expect me just to open up
Maybe I'm just a little scared
Please don't tell me what you think I wanna hear
Oh baby, save it, I've heard it all before
There ain't nothing you could say
Whoa, to make me change my ways
[Chorus]
I ain't lookin' for a steady thing
I ain't lookin' for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready, babe
I'm still lookin' for some better days, oh
I don't wanna give you everything
I just wanna make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away
[Bridge]
So stop falling
Stop falling
You know you're falling for me
Stop falling
Stop falling
Stop falling for me
You've gotta understand my side
I've had a crazy, crazy life
Nobody came along to open up my eyes
Oh baby, take what you can get
Don't even bother with my heart
I get a feeling I won't let it start
[Chorus]
I ain't lookin' for a steady thing
I ain't lookin' for what love brings
I'm still young and I ain't ready, babe
I'm still lookin' for some better days, oh
I don't wanna give you everything
I just wanna make you feel things
If you ain't down to give me everything
Just throw it away
[Outro]
Stop falling
Mmm, mmm
Hey, ohh
Yeah, yeah
