[Chorus]
Don’t rush, baby
Lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow it down
Slow it down, yeah
Don’t rush, baby
Lovin' ain't goin' nowhere
Slow it down

[Verse 1]
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 to rush it, baby
And don’t rush, so slow it down
Slow it down and get it right, yeah yeah
Now baby, it’s understood when lovin’ is feelin’ good
So lets just take our time and make it last, oh

[Chorus]
Don’t rush, baby (Don’t rush, baby)
Lovin’ ain’t goin’ nowhere (Nowhere, nowhere)
Slow it down (Slow it down, baby, slow it down, baby)
Don’t rush, baby (Don’t rush, baby)
Lovin’ ain’t goin’ nowhere (Nowhere, nowhere)
Slow it down

[Verse 2]
Now I’ve got a feelin', 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, hey
Now baby, it’s understood when lovin’ is feelin’ good, yeah, yeah
So lets just take our time and make it last

[Extended Chorus]
Don't rush, baby (Oh, don’t rush)
Lovin' ain’t goin' nowhere (Nowhere, nowhere)

Ohh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Don’t rush, baby (Don't rush)
Lovin' ain't goin' nowhere (Nowhere, nowhere, Nowhere)
Slow it down
Don’t rush, baby (Oh, don’t rush)
Lovin' ain't goin' nowhere (So keep it right there, keep it right there)
Don’t rush, baby (Don't rush, baby)

Slow it down
Don’t rush, baby
Lovin' ain't goin' nowhere

Mary J. Blige

Mary Jane Blige (b. Jan 11 1971) grew up in the projects of Yonkers, New York. A random decision to record a cover of “Caught Up in the Rapture” by Anita Baker in a pop-up recording booth at a mall led MJB to getting signed by Uptown Entertainment. After providing background vocals on Father MC’s hit single “I’ll Do 4 U” in 1990, a young intern at Uptown named Sean “Puffy” Combs ended up executive producing Mary’s 1992 debut album What’s The 411?. Fusing hip-hop beats with Mary’s soulful voice earned her the nickname “Queen of Hip-Hop Soul”.

She followed up her debut with a string of critically acclaimed albums, including 1994’s My Life and 1997’s Share My World, as well as hit singles such as “Not Gon' Cry,” “Family Affair,” “Be Without You,” and “Just Fine.”

She also collaborated with rappers on a number of tracks, including Jay-Z’s “Can’t Knock the Hustle,” Ghostface Killah’s “All That I Got is You,” Wyclef’s “911,” Common’s “Come Close,” and Method Man’s “I’ll Be There for You/All I Need to Get By,” which was a platinum hit and won the two of them a Grammy Award in 1996 for Best Rap Performance By a Duo or Group.
