Relax
Ease into it
Baby slow down, just take your time
You and me goin' be here for a while
Okay
Baby don't rush this, take your time
You and me goin' be here for a while
Okay
I got so much that I want to do
I just wanna be close to you
Okay
I got so much that I want to do
But I can show you better than I can say
Don't want to be no where but here
No where in this atmosphere
Stratosphere, ionosphere
Ain't no sphere that's bright like here
Don't want to be no where but here
No where in this atmosphere
I'm good where I am
Baby slow down, take your time
You and me goin' be here for a while
Okay, hey
