Lyrics of Jump the Gun performed by The Three Degrees

From "3 D" 1981

Jump The Gun Hey Joe, let me make a few suggestions Don`t move too fast if you wanna make connections Time out for a little conversation Can`t hurt, 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 treads more easy Lay back, and be sure you don`t go jumping the gun *You gotta walk before you run Don`t count on two before there`s one Don`t burn your bridge, don`t jump your gun Jump the gun, jump the gun, jump the gun (jump the gun) * repeat **Hey boy, you gotta ease down to it Move up close, leave enough room to do it She`ll tell you when 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 Treat me just the way you treat that lady Lay back and be sure you don`t go jumping the gun * repeat two times *** Keep walking *** Repeat 7 times ** repeat * repeat several times Music by H. Faltermeyer and K. Forsey
