[Verse 1]
(Hey)
I’m not gonna pressure you
No way I make you hurry
You’ll start feeling tied down
Then you’ll start to worry
[Pre Chorus]
I want our love to last
That’s why I won’t go fast
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna lose it
I don’t wanna lose it
I’m takin’ my time
Takin’ my time with you
I don’t wanna lose it
I don’t wanna lose it
I’m takin’ my time
Takin’ my time with you
[Verse 2]
Get the feeling lately
When I’m spending time with you
You’re almost ready to love me
But you’re afraid of love that’s true
[Pre-Chorus]
Can’t get you off my mind
But you just won’t be confined (?)
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna lose it
I don’t wanna lose it
I’m takin’ my time
Takin’ my time with you
(Ooooh)
I don’t wanna lose it
I don’t wanna lose it
I’m takin’ my time
Takin’ my time with you
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
I don’t wanna lose it
I don’t wanna lose it
I’m takin’ my time
Takin’ my timе with you
(Ooooh)
I don’t wanna lose it
I don’t wanna lose it
I’m takin’ my time
Takin’ my timе with you
[Verse 3]
Do what you have to do
I don’t mind what’s going down
And when you’re tired of touching dough
Baby, I’ll be around
[Pre-Chorus]
I’ve known the day would come
You ain’t gonna run
[Chorus]
And I don’t wanna lose it
I don’t wanna lose it
I’m takin’ my time
Takin’ my time with you
(Ooooh)
I don’t wanna lose it
I don’t wanna lose it
I’m takin’ my time
Takin’ my time with you
(Ooooh)
I don’t wanna lose it
I don’t wanna lose it
I’m takin’ my time
Takin’ my time with you
(Ooooh)
I don’t wanna lose it
I don’t wanna lose it
I’m takin’ my time
Takin’ my time with you
