[Verse]
E
Baby what's the word?
G#m
I aint trying to kill your mockingbird.
A
I got scared and i started walking backwards.
And after i got home alone,
E
I couldn't stop drunk dialing your cellular phone.
E
And when you don't pick up, your hang up hurts.
G#m
I know i got caught with my hand up her skirt.
A
I'm into sandals with the candle light romance,
(
E)\
I go to itunes, to download your slow jams.
[Verse]
E
Typhoon, with the Thunder clap.
G#m
I fell in love with the girl in my summer class.
A \
She sat, right next to me,
(
E)
And she made me tell the truth like ecstasy.
E G#m
So, whoa, i gotta slow myself on down.
A E
I've been in love before.
[Chorus]

Baby we can be my mellow lil lady.
G#m
Marijuana sunshine soul made crazy.
A
Why go back and forth like a maybe?
E
You and i can flow and say i love sailing.
E
Light brown elleby on Chip and dale.
G#m
Skin say i'm fat but i'm skinny as a rail.
A
Pet snail, i got a freak on her knees.
E
I need a little more made of the American Dream.
E
I want her fired up, yea baby don't try to tie me up.
G#m
I'm just not the type of guy that'd wanna lie to ya.
A
And if you wanna try to fall in love,
E
It's going to take a little time,
E
And i won't budge for a minute now.
G#m
You've got to slow yourself on down.
A E
I've been in love before.
