The look within you eyes, baby 00:25
It makes me wonder why, lady 00:29
You want to get with me, darlin' 00:32
When I thought we were just friends 00:35
Then you made your move on me 00:38
You started moving on me strongly 00:41
Even though nobody was around 00:45
I still had to tell you to slow it down 00:48
And we don't have to rush the night away 00:51
There's always gonna be another day 00:54
A time to make love and a time to play 00:58

And kicked off your shoes, then you started dancing 01:21
I said, "Come over here, have a little seat with me 01:24
All I wanna do is watch a little bit of TV" 01:28
She started rubbin' on my legs, fingers in my hair 01:31
Then you got silly, said, "Let's play truth or dare" 01:34
I'm not in the mood, honey, I swear 01:37
Baby you're outta control and I had to get up out of there 01:41

[English]

The look within you eyes, baby
It makes me wonder why, lady
You want to get with me, darlin'
When I thought we were just friends
Then you made your move on me
You started moving on me strongly
Even though nobody was around
I still had to tell you to slow it down
And we don't have to rush the night away
There's always gonna be another day
A time to make love and a time to play
What I'm trying to say, take love slowly
We don't have to rush the night away
There's always gonna be another day
A time to make love and a time to play
What I'm trying to say, take love slowly
When I took you to my house, baby, you got buck wild
And kicked off your shoes, then you started dancing
I said, "Come over here, have a little seat with me
All I wanna do is watch a little bit of TV"
She started rubbin' on my legs, fingers in my hair
Then you got silly, said, "Let's play truth or dare"
I'm not in the mood, honey, I swear
Baby you're outta control and I had to get up out of there
And we don't have to rush the night away
There's always gonna be another day
A time to make love and a time to play
What I'm trying to say, take love slowly
We don't have to rush the night away
There's always gonna be another day
A time to make love and a time to play
What I'm trying to say, take love slowly
Don't rush
(Don't)
Don't rush it
(Don't)
Don't rush
(Don't)
Don't rush
(Don't rush)
Don't rush
Don't rush it
Babe, don't rush
Don't rush
Don't rush it
Don't rush
Don't rush
Don't rush
Don't rush it baby
And we don't have to rush the night away
There's always going to be another day
A time to make love and a time to play
What I'm trying to say, take love slowly
We don't have to rush the night away
There's always gonna be another day
A time to make love and a time to play
What I'm trying to say, take love slowly
And we don't have to rush the night away
There's always gonna be another day
A time to make love and a time to play
What I'm trying to say, take love slowly
We don't have to rush the night away
There's always gonna be another day
A time to make love and a time to play
What I'm trying to say, take love slowly
