[Verse 1]
I know you want what's best for me
I know you've been waiting patiently
You got my hand over the fire
I know you wanna take me higher

[Pre-Chrous]
I don't wanna jump until I'm sure
It's not like my heart is insecure
The moment I'm ready
I'll just know it
I'm gonna know it

[Chrous]
Oh no, baby not this way
Oh no, but I'm not afraid of love
A little more time and I'll take you there
Oh no, baby, not today
But love, come on if you rage in love
I want it
A little more time
And I'll take you there

[Verse 2]
You make it hard, boy to resist
A little more space
I must insist
Too close
You're intoxicating
Makes me wonder why I'm waiting

[Pre-Chrous]
I'll give up the fight
When I know it's right
Baby, baby, not tonight
Oh oh, a little more time
And I'll take you there

[Chrous]
Oh no, baby not this way
Oh no, but I'm not afraid of love
A little more time
And I'll take you there
Oh no, baby not today
But love
Come on if you rage in love
I want it
A little more time
And I'll take you there

[Bridge]
Only time can tell me if this is real
Or if we're rushing how we feel
Is it my imagination?
Is it a perfect situation?
No
I didn't wanna fall in love
But you made me go and do it
And now you gotta prove it
A little more time and I'll take you there

[Chrous]
Oh no, baby not this way
Oh no, but I'm not afraid of love
A little more time and I'll take you there
Oh no, baby not today
But love, come on if you rage in love
I want it
A little more time
And I'll take you there
Baby, not this way
Oh no, but I'm not afraid of love
A little more time
And I'll take you there
Oh no, baby not today
But love, come on if you rage in love
I want it
A little more time and I'll take you there

[Outro]
And I'm gonna take you there
And I'm gonna take you there
And I'm gonna take you there
And I'm gonna take you there
A little more time and I'll take you there

Ariana Grande

Ariana Grande (born Grande-Butera on June 26, 1993) is an actress and a pop vocalist from Boca-Raton, Florida. She had performed in many plays as a child but didn’t make a significant dent in her dream to become an R&B star until being cast as a cheerleader in the Broadway musical 13, earning a National Youth Theatre Association Award for her performance.

Soon after, she was able to land a role in the Nickelodeon hit TV series, Victorious, which propelled her to become a teen idol as her on-screen character seemed to be “very impressionable and easily swayed” but “generally sweet.” From this point on, she was able to garner the fan base that allowed her to create tracks that worked only towards the promotion of the show, like “Put Your Hearts Up.”

She would have to wait until August 2012 to see the cancellation of Victorious, which allowed Grande to finally make music her priority. With her life now revolving entirely around this passion, she was able to release her debut album, Yours the result of a three-year endeavor. She completed the album, initially titled Daydreamin, in June 2013; it was released on August 19, 2013. In September 2013, it debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart, with 138,000 copies sold in its first week, making Grande the first female artist since Ke$ha to have her first album debut atop the charts.
