easy baby, don't come so close, i ain't ready to handle you,
you're my weakness and you still show.
and when a bridge is burning it don't help if the wind blows.
baby, you had me figured out, right down to the t,
said, "this is who you are and how you do it,
you don't have to say nothing , i can see.
there's a passion in you, god help you if it gets free,
'cause baby it don't burn for me, so i'm gonna leave."
and i cried, "no, baby, no baby, no please don't.
no, baby, no baby, no please don't.
if you hurt me this fast, i'm gonna have to heal slow."
now my momma always told me never to burn my bridges,
and i was careful not to fan the flames,
but baby, you lit a fire in me and now i don't burn the same.
yeah i like the danger of never turning back,
so when i look over my shoulder
i only want to see smoke to mark my tracks.
so go, baby go, go baby go, you can go.
yeah, go, baby go, go baby go, you can go.
if you hurt me this fast, i'm gonna have to heal slow.
so easy baby, don't come so close,
i ain't ready to handle you.
you're my weakness and you still show.
come and cross this bridge,
you gonna find there ain't nowhere to go.
