Ooh, ooh, ooh
|
|
Oh, yeah
|
|
Baby, what's your hurry
|
|
Where are you going so fast
|
|
You can keep your motor runnin'
|
|
But don't run out of gas
|
|
Getting there is half the fun
|
|
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
|
|
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
|
|
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
|
|
So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger
|
|
(Stronger, stronger)
|
|
If we're gonna climb a mountain
|
|
We gotta take our sweet time
|
|
When you're traveling down love's highway
|
|
Don't you know speeding is a crime
|
|
Listen, getting there is half the fun
|
|
Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me
|
|
And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)
|
|
For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you
|
|
So take a little longer
|
|
My love can only get stronger (stronger, stronger)
|
|
Oh, my Baby, we gotta slow down (ooh)
|
|
Take your time, ease your mind (oh, Baby, mmm)
|
|
Stronger, rest of my life, I'm gonna love you
|
|
So just take a little longer, and our love is gonna get stronger
|
|
(Cause you've got the rest of the night) oh---, yeah
|
|
(And the best of my love) yet to come (yet to come)
|
|
Oh, baby, for (rest of my life) I'm gonna love you
|
|
I want you to take your time
|
|
Love me baby, love me baby, love me, love me (rest of my life)
|
|
Slow down baby, I ain't going no where (best of my love)
|
|
So why don't we just take our sweet time (rest of my life)
|
|
Don't rush me, you're gonna crush me, let the feeling come
|
|
Oh, remember that song about a slow hand (rest of the night)
|
|
Now she had the right idea (oh--)
|
|
So, Baby, what's the hurry, (best of my love)
|
|
we've got forever
|
|
If we don't use it up too fast (oh, ah--)
|
|
Take it slow, calm down, smell the roses
|
|
We'll get there, don't you worry
|
|
(Rest of the night, to hold me) (best of my love, yet to come...)
