The Three Degrees – Jump The Gun lyrics

Hey Joe, let me make a few suggestions
Don't move too fast if you want to make connections
Time out for a little conversation
Take her if you're looking for a sweet sensation

Hold on, I'm a lady who knows better
Don't play no games if you really wanna get her
Fools rush, a wise man takes love easy
Lay back, and make sure you don't go jumping back up!

You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge until you're done
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun

You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge until you're done
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun
Jump the gun, jump the gun

Hey boy, you better ease down to it
Move up close, leave enough room to do it
She'll tell you if she's feeling good and ready
You'll know and she'll show you how to come and get it

Hey Joe, said I hope that you hear me
It ain't so hard if you wanna get near me
Treat me just the way you treat that lady
Lay back, and be sure you don't go jumping back up!

You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge until you're done
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun

You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge until you're done
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun

[Interlude]

Hey boy, you better ease down to it
Move up close, leave enough room to do it
She'll tell you if she's feeling good and ready
You'll know and she'll show you how to come and get it

Hey Joe, said I hope that you hear me
It ain't so hard if you wanna get near me
Treat me just the way you treat that lady
Lay back, and be sure you don't go jumping back up!

You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge until you're done
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun

You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge until you're done
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun

You gotta walk before you run
Don't count on two before there's one
Don't burn your bridge until you're done
Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun
