If you take your time, honey, you'll get just what you want
So don't hurry me, don't worry me, take it easy baby

If you take it slow, then you'll find I know
If you take it slow you'll get that feeling more and more
So don't hurry me, hurry me, worry me, take it easy, baby

I said I won't be like I used to know
You get my feeling of my pride and joy
When I'm holdin' you baby, I feel like a baby

But if you take your time, you'll get what you want
So don't hurry me, hurry me, worry me, take it easy

But if you take it slow, then you'll find I know
If you take it slow, you gonna feel it more and more
So don't hurry me, hurry me, worry me, take it easy, baby
