I want you
To say you're lost without me
I want you
To beg for my love

You wanna take it slow
I wanna take it slower
You wanna take it slow

Oh

I wanna take it slower
You wanna take it slow

To want me desperately
I want you
To give your destiny to me

You wanna take it slow
I wanna take it slower
You wanna take it slow
I wanna take it slow
