  • 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
    You don't have to be frightened with my love
    Because, I'll never give up on you
    Let's wait awhile
    Ah well before it's too late
    You know you can't rush love, love

    Let's wait awhile
    (Ooh hoo hoo)
    Before it's too late
    (Let's wait awhile)
    Wait awhile
    (Our love will be great)
    Let's wait awhile
    Before we go too far, oh, oh, ooh

    Let's wait awhile
    (Let's just take our time)
    Before it's too late
    (Let's wait awhile)
    Your love's so good
    We shouldn't rush in
    (Let's wait awhile)
    Slow it down
    (Before we go too far)
    Ooh

    La da lee de da da de de de, da da da da la da
    La da lee de da da de de de, da da da da la da da
    La da lee de da da de de de
