Let's take it nice and easy
It's gonna be so easy
For us to fall in love

Hey baby whats your hurry
Relax and don't you worry
Were gonna fall in love

Were on the road to romance - that's safe to say
But let's make all the stops along the way

The problem now of course is
To simply hold your horses
To rush would be a crime
'Cause nice and easy does it every time

(Repeat)
