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

Hey baby what's your hurry
Relax and don't you worry
We're gonna fall in love

We're 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

Sit back and let it happen
No need to race
I think its all just fallen into place
So let's start getting cozy
The future's looking rosy
Those bells are bound to chime
'Cause nice and easy does it
Nice and easy does it
Nice and easy does it every time
