Slow Down Baby
Christina Aguilera Lyrics

Stop
The singer demands the listener to stop doing what they are doing.

Slow down, baby
The singer tells the listener to slow down in their pursuit of the singer's attention.

I can tell that you're into me, uh Baby, it's so plain to see I can see it in your eyes You're paralyzed Every time I pass you by
The singer acknowledges that the listener is attracted to her and can see it from their reaction every time she's around.

You're the kind that gets your way, uh Every minute, every single day I can see it all in your face You're blown away 'Cause I don't want you in my space
The singer points out that the listener is used to getting what they want, but this time they won't get their way with her.

You're struttin' 'round here like you think that I can't do without you You got some nerve to think that I would give up everything
The singer accuses the listener of acting like they are indispensable in her life, but she wants them to know that she can do without them.

Slow down, baby And don't act crazy Don't you know you can look all you want but you just can't touch? (just can't touch, no) So slow down, baby (hey) I'm not your lady (lady) Boy, you're never gonna get it from me 'cause I'm with someone
The singer warns the listener to slow down and not act crazy, mostly because they are not going to get what they want, as she is in a relationship with someone else.

After all of the games you played How's it feel to finally get a taste? You can dish it out, but can you take the bed you've made? Boy, and it's gonna change I'm not falling for your stupid lies I know you've dished them 'bout thousand times Saying nothing but a nursery rhyme But I won't buy it Baby, don't you even try
The singer calls out the listener for playing games and causing hurt. She wants the listener to know that they will not get away with it anymore, and she won't fall for their tricks.

You comin' 'round here like you think that everything's about you If you knew anything, you'd realize I'm wearing a ring
The singer reveals that she's married and advises the listener not to act like everything revolves around them.

Slow down, baby (Slow down) And don't act crazy (crazy, hey) Don't you know you can look all you want but you just can't touch? (You just can't touch, no) So slow down, baby (Slow down) I'm not your lady (your lady) Boy, you're never gonna get it from me 'cause I'm with someone (with someone, yeah)
The singer repeats her warning to the listener that she is not going to be with them, as she is committed to someone else.

Do you really wanna waste your time? Don't you have better things to do with life?
The singer questions the listener if it's worth wasting their time pursuing her when they can do other more productive things with their life.

Listen, I don't wanna get you down But I ain't never gonna mess around So how many ways do I have to say Oh, oh, oh
The singer tells the listener that she doesn't want to bring them down, but she wants to make it clear that she is not going to cheat on her partner.

Stop Slow down, baby
The singer concludes by repeating her initial demand for the listener to stop and slow down.
