Oh babe,
Ohhh, oh oh oh..

We done known each other so long,
Never thought that this would pop off
But now we getting closer
I'm truly blessed to know ya
I'm feeling like you're my one true thang

Every day and night that i'm with ya
Girl you give my whole soul a fit
Ah, it started with a kiss and
Then we threw the sex in
And now i feel like this is here to stay

[chorus]
And baby i don't need more time
'cause i know in my heart this is where i need to be
So baby please forgive me
I can't keep my hands off ya
When we're together
I wanna take it slow (take it slow)
From your head, make my way down to your toe (to your toe)
From the bed take it down to the floor
I dig the way you (do me)
I feel the way you (move me)
Every time we hook it up

[bridge]
Yeah i know, i wanna stay but i really need to go (need to go)
But girl you get it fired up at the door
I dig the way you (do me)
I feel the way you (move me)
Every time we hook it up

Well if i may take a minute to tell you
That it ain't game and it ain't fake
And baby i adore you, much more than the average chick
Lady i'll do what you want to
Please believe it
Kissing you none stop, you don't hear me
I don't want to stop, i don't wanna let go
I know you never thought a thug could feel this way for you but it's true

[chorus]
And baby i don't need more time
'cause i know in my heart this is where i need to be
So baby please forgive me
I can't keep my hands off ya
When we're together
I wanna take it slow (take it slow)

From your head, make my way down to your toe (to your toe)
From the bed take it down to the floor
I dig the way you (do me)
I feel the way you (move me)
Every time we hook it up

Girl i care for you, i'm really there for you
Anytime, every time this is no lie
I get a vibe from you, when i'm inside of you
Like i belong, like i'm at home
Baby don't you fight this moment
You know damn well you want it
It becomes more beautiful
The more we flow

[chorus]
And baby i don't need more time
'cause i know in my heart this is where i need to be
So baby please forgive me
I can't keep my hands off ya
When we're together
I wanna take it slow (take it slow)
From your head, make my way down to your toe (to your toe)
From the bed take it down to the floor
I dig the way you (do me)
I feel the way you (move me)
Every time we hook it up

Yeah i know, i wanna stay but i really need to go (need to go)
But girl you get it fired up at the door
I dig the way you (do me)
