You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better

What kind of girl do you think I am
It's just too soon, can't you understand

I'm not the kind of girl who has to
Lay you down before I fall in love
It's been kind of relaxed here waiting ???
But baby, you got to slow down

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Maybe next time)
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Baby)

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Maybe next time)
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Baby)

Please just be patient if nothing else, oh, babe
Just know that I respect myself, yes, I do

But I hope I didn't lead you to thinking
Thinking that I was that easy, boy
I know that we're living in the 80s
Yet some things never change

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Maybe next time)
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Baby)

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Maybe next time)
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Baby)

I'm just an old fashioned girl
When it comes down to love
Before I give you some love
I've got to be sure your intentions are pure

(Oh, babe) You're puttin' a rush on me (Take it easy, baby)
But I'd like to know you better (Don't rush it, baby)
You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Maybe next time, oh...)

You're puttin' a rush on me (Oh, oh, oh, yeah, yeah)

You're puttin' a rush on me (Puttin' a rush on me)
Baby, can't you see (Oh, can't you see)
Puttin' a rush on me (You're puttin' a rush on me)
Yeh, ey, hey, hey

You're puttin' a rush on me (Oh, babe)
But I'd like to know you better (Puttin' a rush on me, don't-don't do it, babe)
You're puttin' a rush on me (I can't stand it, baby)
But I'd like to know you better (Don't you do it, baby, ah...oh...oh...)

You're puttin' a rush on me (Oh...oh...oh...oh...)
But I'd like to know you better (Yeah)

You're puttin' a rush on me (You're puttin' a rush on me)
Oh, baby, can't you see (Oh, baby, can't you see)
Puttin' a rush on me (Puttin' a rush on me)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, I'd like to know

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better (Oh, baby, ooh, ooh, ooh, babe)
You're puttin' a rush on me (Slow down, boy)
But I'd like to know you better (Take it easy)

You're puttin' a rush on me
But I'd like to know you better
