God knows that you're a sexy thang
It's taking everything in me
Not to kiss you over, under
Feel you inside, feel my thunder
How the hell could I not want you
Girl it don't have to be a thang
I'll wait for you, you wait for me
'cause true love is insisting we don't have to rush at all
These are the times we all wish for
The moment we less means so much more
We don't have to do a thing at all
We can take our time and talk
And this is the way things need to be
No pressure from you and none from me
Just let the mood set the moment off
We can make love or not at all
Be thinkin' 'bout you all the time
Morning, noon, and suppertime
Tear you up in little pieces
Swallow you like reese's pieces
Come on girl you know I need you
(I know) it ain't s'posed to be a thing
(I know) I'll wait for you, you wait for me
(and I know) true love's insisting we don't have to rush at at all
Hook
I don't make promises
'cause I know my heart gets weak
I get around you girl
It makes them hard to keep
'cause you bring out the best, you make me the man
God knows I'm proud to be
Hook 2 times
