Let’s Wait AwhileBooker T. & The MG’s

[Instrumental]



[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
Let's wait awhile
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile
Before we go too far

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Bridge]
I didn't really know
Not to let all my feelings show
To save some for later
So our love will be greater

You said you would always love me
Remember I said the same thing too
You don't have to be frightened with my love
Because I'll never give up on you

[Chorus]
Let's wait awhile
Before it's too late
You know
You can't rush love

Let's just take our time
Love's so good
Sure our love will be there
Slow it down

I promise
I'll be worth the wait
