Let's Wait Awhile by Janet Jackson

There's something I want to tell you
There's something I think that you should know
It's not that I shouldn't really love you
Let's take it slow

When we get to know each other
And we're both feeling much stronger
Then let's try to talk it over
Let's wait awhile longer

Let's wait awhile
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile
Before we go too far

Remember that special night

When all of the stars were shining bright
We made our first endeavor
To stay together

We made our very first promise
To love, to share, and be real honest
But on that very first night
It wasn't quite right

Let's wait awhile
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile
Our love will be great
Let's wait awhile
Before we go too far

I didn't really know not to let all my feelings show
To save some for later so our love can be greater
You said you would always love me

Remember I said the same thing to you
Don't have to be frightened with my love
Because, I'll never give up on you
Let's wait awhile
But before it's too late
You know you can't rush love, love
Let's wait awhile
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile (wait awhile)
Our love will be great
Let's wait awhile (wait awhile)
Before we go too far

Let's wait awhile (let's just take our time)
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile (your love's so good)
Our love will be great (we shouldn't rush in)
Let's wait awhile (slow it down)
Before we go too far

I promise, I'll be worth the wait
