Oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh

Girl, I'm in love with you

This ain't the honeymoon

We're passed the infatuation phase

We're right in the thick of love

At times we get sick of love

It seems like we argue every day

I know I misbehaved

And you've made your mistakes

And we both still got room left to grow

And though love sometimes hurts

I still put you first

And we'll make this thing work

But I think we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

'Cause we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow

Take it slow, oh-oh

This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow, oh-oh

This time we'll take it slow

This ain't a movie no

No fairy tale conclusion y'all

It gets more confusing everyday, oh

Sometimes it's heaven sent

Then we head back to hell again

We kiss, then we make up on the way

I hang up, you call

We rise and we fall

And we feel like just walking away

As our love advances

We take second chances

Though it's not a fantasy

I still want you to stay

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

'Cause we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow

Take it slow, oh-oh

This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow, oh-oh

This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow

Maybe we'll live and learn

Maybe we'll crash and burn

Maybe you'll stay

Maybe you'll leave

Maybe you'll return

Maybe another fight

Maybe we won't survive

But maybe we'll grow

We never know, baby you and I

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go, yeah, hey

'Cause we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow

We're just ordinary people

We don't know which way to go

'Cause we're ordinary people

Maybe we should take it slow

Take it slow, oh-oh

This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow, oh-oh

This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow, slow

This time we'll take it slow

Take it slow, oh

This time we'll take it slow
