Slow It Down
Charlie Puth Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Saying she better be the only one
My life is complicated, she's only 23
I'm not the guy that she's supposed to love
Oh the more that I tell her I'm not staying over
The harder she makes it to go
Oh the more that I try to convince her this won't work
Girl you've gotta slow it down
I'm not tryna fall for you
Girl you've gotta slow it down
I can't give it all to you
Even though I want to
She knows just what she doing
She fucking with my head
Wrapping her legs so tight around my waist
Two in the afternoon
But we still ain't out of bed
No matter what she always gets her way
Oh the more that I tell her I'm not staying over
The harder she makes it to go (you make is so hard)
Oh the more that I try to convince her this won't work
The faster she takes off her clothes
Girl you've gotta slow it down
I'm not tryna fall for you
Girl you've gotta slow it down
I can't give it all to you
Even though I want to, hey
Even though I want to, oh oh oh
You've got to slow it, slow it down baby
You've got to slow it down
You don't know what you doing to me now
You've got to slow it, slow it down baby
You've got to slow it down
Girl you've gotta slow it down
I'm not tryna fall for you
Girl you've gotta slow it down
I can't give it all to you
Even though I want to
Ooh you've gotta slow it down, yeah, yeah
In "Slow It Down" Charlie Puth sings about the complexities of a relationship. He expresses his concerns about the girl he is seeing and how she is pressuring him to commit to her exclusively. Puth acknowledges the girl's influence and recognizes how she's making it difficult for him to move on.

He pleads with the girl to "slow it down" and not force him to fall for her, even though he may want to. Puth reveals the struggle he faces in resisting someone he's attracted to, despite knowing that they may not be the one he's meant to be with.
In summary, "Slow It Down" is about Charlie Puth's conflicting feelings regarding a girl he's seeing. He recognizes that he may be falling for her but hesitates to commit fully due to his complicated life and relationship status.
