Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
I know you want what's best for me
I know you've been waiting patiently
You got my hand over the fire
I know you wanna take me higher
I don't wanna jump until I'm sure
It's not like my heart is insecure
The moment I'm ready, I'll just know it
I'm gonna know it
[Chorus]
Oh no, baby, not this way
Oh no, but I'm not afraid to love
A little more time and I'll take you there
Oh, oh, oh, oh no, baby, not today (Oh, oh)
But no, come on if you ready to know I want it
A little more time and I'll take you there (I'll take you there)
[Verse 2]
You make it hard, boy, to resist
A little more space, I must insist
Too close, you're intoxicating
Makes me wonder why I'm waiting
I'll give up the fight when I know it's right
Baby, baby, not tonight
Oh, oh, a little more time and I'll take you there
[Chorus]
Oh no, baby, not this way
Oh no, but I'm not afraid to love (I'm not afraid)
A little more time and I'll take you there
Oh, oh, oh, oh no, baby, not today (Oh, oh)
But no, come on if you ready to know I want it
A little more time and I'll take you there
[Bridge]
Only time can tell me if this is real
Or if we're rushing, how we feel
Is it my imagination?
Is it a perfect situation? No
I didn't wanna fall in love
But you're gone and made me do it (Let me do it)
And now you gotta prove it
A little more time and I'll take you there
[Chorus]
Oh no, baby, not this way
Oh no, but I'm not afraid to love (I'm not afraid)
A little more time and I'll take you there
Oh, oh, oh, oh no, baby, not today (Oh, oh)
But no, come on if you ready to know I want it
A little more time and I'll take you there (I'll take you there)
Oh, baby, not this way
Oh no, but I'm not afraid to love (I'm not afraid)
A little more time and I'll take you there
Oh, oh, oh, oh no, baby, not today (Oh, oh)
But no, come on if you ready to know I want it
A little more time and I'll take you there (I'll take you there)
[Outro]
Oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh (Oh, oh)
And I'm gonna take you there
And I'm gonna take you there
And I'm gonna take you there
And I'm gonna take you there
A little more time and I'll take you there
