Red roses, temptation, You make the most of a ify situation I'm weighing my decision Who's to say if it's love,or if it isn't? Only time will tell Just how well I'll get to know you Don't mean to lead you on, But I want to take it slowly, slowly Don't rush me I've made that mistake before, ah Don't rush me This love could be so much more It's well worth the waiting for Desire can mean danger, I want to lover, not another stranger I'm saving all my passion Who's to say if its love, or just attraction? Only time will tell Just how well I'll get to know you Don't mean to lead you on But I want to take it slowly, slowly And my resistance is weakening, weakening every time we touch Baby, you get everything, everything that I've been dreamin' of Don't rush me I've made that mistake before, oh yeah Don't rush me. This love could be so much more, It's well worth the waiting for, yeah My resistance is weakening Every time we touch, 'Cause baby you've got everything, Everything That I've been dreaming of Don't rush me I've made that mistake before, Oh yeah. Don't rush me. This love could be so much more, It's well worth the waiting for Don't rush me I've made that mistake before, Oh yeah. Don't rush me. This love could be so much more, It's well worth the waiting for, yeah
