Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I got a couple of habits that I'm not proud of
The second I'm close to somebody, I fall out of love
But you're way too good, so I don't wanna mess you all up
Don't wanna say way too much too fast
[Pre-Chorus]
But I want this one to last
But I know that I go way too far
When I think that I won't, so
[Chorus]
I guess I better watch my mouth
I guess I better watch my mouth
I can't be throwin' 'Love you's 'round
I'm only gonna let you down
I guess I better watch my mouth
I guess I better watch my mouth
I can't be throwin' 'Love you's 'round
I'm only gonna let you down
[Post-Chorus]
I'm only gonna let you down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
[Verse 2]
I feel something real every time that I'm looking at you
Promised myself that I wouldn't do what I use to
Sometimes I make promises that I just don't see through
Don't wanna dive into you too fast
[Pre-Chorus]
'Cause I want this one to last
But I know that I go way too far
When I think that I won't, so
[Chorus]
I guess I better watch my mouth
I guess I better watch my mouth
I can't be throwin' 'Love you's 'round
I'm only gonna let you down
I guess I better watch my mouth
I guess I better watch my mouth
I can't be throwin' 'Love you's 'round
I'm only gonna let you down
[Post-Chorus]
I'm only gonna let you down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
[Bridge]
Take what I say
Take it with a pinch of salt
'Cause if I ever run away
Know that it's not your fault
Take what I say
Take it with a pinch of salt
'Cause if I ever run away
Know that it's not your fault
[Chorus]
I guess I better watch my mouth
I guess I better watch my mouth
I can't be throwin' 'Love you's 'round
I'm only gonna let you down
I guess I better watch my mouth
I guess I better watch my mouth
I can't be throwin' 'Love you's 'round
I'm only gonna let you down
[Post-Chorus]
I'm only gonna let you down, down, down
Down, down, down
Down, down, down, down
