Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Slow down, baby
The lovin' ain't going nowhere
[Verse 2]
Don't rush, baby
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down (Slow it down, yeah)
Don't rush, baby
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
(Nowhere)
Slow down
[Verse 3]
When we make love
Baby, all we got to do is take our time
And get it, get it right in the groove
Now there's no need for us to be
In a rush so slow it down
Slow it down and get it right, yeah
Now, baby, it's understood
When the lovin' is feeling good
So let's just take our time and make it last (Oh, yeah)
[Verse 4]
Don't rush, baby (Don't rush, baby)
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
(Nowhere)
Slow down (Slow it down, baby, slow it down, baby, oh)
Don't rush, baby (Don't rush, baby)
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
(Nowhere, nowhere)
Slow down
[Verse 5]
Now I've got a feeling, baby
That tonight could be the night
Don't rush it, don't fight it
If you've got a notion
Baby, please let it be slow motion
Slow it down, baby
Keep it right there, keep it right there
[Verse 6]
Now baby, it's understood
When the lovin' is feelin' good, yeah
So let's just take our time and make it last, oh
[Verse 7]
Don't rush, baby
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down (Keep it right there, keep it right there)
Don't rush, baby (Don't rush)
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down (Keep it right there, keep it right there, keep it right there)
[Verse 8]
(Oh)
(Oh yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Verse 9]
Don't rush, baby (Don't rush)
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
(Nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, nowhere, oh)
Slow down
Don't rush, baby (Don't rush, my baby)
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down
(So keep it right there, keep it right there)
[Verse 10]
Don't rush, baby (Don't rush, baby)
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere (Don't rush, baby)
Slow down (Don't rush)
Don't rush, baby
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere (Don't rush, baby)
Slow down (Don't rush, don't rush)
[Verse 11]
Don't rush, baby (Don't rush, baby)
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere (Don't rush, baby, yeah)
Slow down (Keep it right there, keep it right there, keep it right there)
Don't rush, baby (Don't rush)
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down (Ooh)
[Verse 12]
Don't rush, baby (Ooh, don't rush)
The lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow down
