Baby, slow down
Just hear me out
There's something I gotta let you know
No need to push
No need to rush
You know you had me from "Hello"
When it comes to my heart, I don't play
Baby boy, can't you see the stop sign?
You're movin' much too fast
Baby, love doesn't grow in a day
Just get it right the first time
Make this feelin' last
Baby, if you're willin' to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late?
And I know what's on your mind (on your mind, on your mind)
I know this feeling is crazy (crazy)
It's mutual baby
But we don't have to rush something real
Baby, if you're willin' to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Boy, can't you see?
I'm not tryna be the girl who gets taken for a ride
You take your time (you take your time), and you will find (you will find)
There's so much more to me inside
And you say there's no need to delay
You're telling me to trust you
Boy, you know I want to, baby
But my heart, it's so recently break
Before we take this very far
Show me who you really are
Baby, if you're willing to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late?
And I know what's on your mind (I know, baby, baby, yeah, yeah)
I know this feeling is crazy (crazy)
It's mutual, baby (mutual, baby)
But we don't have to rush something real
Baby, if you're willin' to wait
We can just take our time (our time)
Hey baby
Baby, love doesn't grow in a day
Let's get it right the first time
And make this feeling last
Baby, if you're willing to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late? (It's getting late)
And I know what's on your mind
(And I know just what's on your mind, your mind, your mind, mind)
I know this feeling is crazy (crazy)
It's mutual, baby
But we don't have to rush something real
(We don't have to rush it baby)
Baby, if you're willing to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Our time
Don't you know that it's getting late?
And I know what's on...
