[Intro]
Oh
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Woah

[Verse 1]
I'm not worried 'bout tomorrow
While we're still, while we're still
While we're still soaking in today
Yeah
Don't need any extra fire, no
'Cause we will, 'cause we will
'Cause we will end up burning down this place
Yeah

[Chorus]
Our love's worth waiting for
Just let it stew some more
Bring out each flavor and spice
Stir up what's mine and yours
Like I warned you before, yeah
I can't help that I'm a slow cooker
Slow cooker

[Verse 2]
Everybody's speeding
But you and me, you and me
You and me move at our own pace
Oh, Lord
Ain't nothing like a simmer, ayy
Let it be, let it be
Let it breathe
And then we'll sneak a taste
Goddamn, yeah

[Chorus]
Our love's worth waiting for
Just let it stew some more
Bring out each flavor and spice
Stir up what's mine and yours
Spill it all on the floor, yeah
I can't help that I'm a slow cooker

[Post-Chorus]
(Good things come to those who can wait)
I can't help that I'm a slow cooker(I'll take my sweet time like a)
(Good things come to those who can wait)
I can't help that I'm a slow cooker (I'll take my sweet time like a)
(Forming gold can take a billion years) Ooh

(We just gon' slow cook up in here) Yeah, yeah

[Bridge]
Oh, forming gold can take a billion years
So me and my baby, we just gon' slow cook up in here, yeah
Forming gold can take a billion years
So me and my baby, we just gon' slow cook up in here, ayy
Forming gold can take a billion years
So me and my baby, we just gon' slow cook, slowly, slowly, slow

[Outro]
Just gon' slow cook up in
Slow, slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow
Forming gold can take a billion years
So me and my baby, come on, baby
Slow, slow

John Legend was born in 1978 in Ohio. He became an in-demand session musician and songwriter, working with such artists as Alicia Keys, Twista and Janet Jackson. He was soon introduced to up-and-coming hip-hop artist Kanye West, and the two musicians collaborated on one another’s demos.

J. Ivy claims credit for bestowing the “Legend” moniker upon John Stephens (with an assist from Kanye West). Via

Kanye was like, ‘Have you heard of this singer called John Stephens?’ He played me this song from him, that I think will.i.am produced. It was so refreshing and soulful. An hour later, John Stephens comes into the studio. I told him, ‘I heard your music. It’s so amazing. It sounds old school. Man, you sound like one of the legends. You’re a legend. Matter of fact, that’s what I am going to call you from now The Legend. A couple days later, we were in the lounge of the studio (Record Plant) and John Stephens walks in and everyone shouts him out. I was like, ‘John Legend!’ Kanye then said, ‘You’re John Legend from now on. That’s your name!’”
