Lady, yes, I understand
That you really do want me to be your man (Mhm)
But baby, I want to take it slow
Just to see how far our love can truly go

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, I don't mean to let you down
There's no need for you to have a
Frown upon your face anymore
Can't you see, baby, that love takes time

Now, darling, I don't want to rush
I just want our love to take a little time
I wanna make sure I have your trust
I wanna make sure that you're really mine, all mine (Mhm)
Baby, please tell me now
Will you stay around if I wanna slow it down?
I wanna make sure it's real this time
So we can put our pride aside, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Girl, I don't mean to let you down
There's no need for you to wear that
Frown upon your face anymore
Can't you see, baby, that love takes time, baby (Hoo)
