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

(Wait awhile, ooh)

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

(Our love will be great)

We shouldn't rush in

(Let's wait awhile)

Slow it down

(Before we go too far) -a
