“Willing to Wait” is a ballad about Rihanna wanting to take her time with a new man. She wants to learn to love him first and if she is ready to take the next step, it would be her decision and not his.
[Intro]
Hey, oh
No-oh
[Verse 1]
Baby, slow down
Just hear me out
Something I gotta let you know
There's no need to push
And no need to rush
You know you had me from 'hello'
[Pre-Chorus]
When it comes to my heart, I don't play
Baby boy, can't you see the stop sign?
You're moving much too fast
Baby, love doesn't grow in a day
Let's get it right the first time
Make this feeling last
[Chorus]
Baby if you're willing to wait (Baby, yeah), we can just take our time (Take our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late? (It's getting late)
And I know what's on your mind (On your mind, your mind)
I know this feeling is crazy
It's mutual baby
But we don't have to rush something real
Baby, if you're willing to wait, we can just take our time (Take our time)
[Verse 2]
Boy, can't you see?
I'm not tryna be the girl who gets taken for a ride
You take your time, and you will find there's so much more to me inside
And you say there's no need to delay
You're telling me to trust you
Boy, you know I want to, baby
But my heart, it's so recently break
Before we take this very far, show me who you really are
[Chorus]
Baby, if you're willing to wait, we can just take our time (We should just take our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late?
And I know what's on your mind (I know, baby, baby, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah)
I know this feeling is crazy (Crazy)
It's mutual, baby (Mutual, baby)
But we don't have to rush something real
Baby, if you're willing to wait, we can just take our time (Our time)
[Pre-Chorus]
Ho-oh, oh
Ho-oh, oh, oh-oh
Hey baby
Baby, love doesn't grow in a day
Let's get it right the first time
And make this feeling last
[Chorus]
Baby, if you're willing to wait, we can just take our time (Take our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late? (It's getting late)
And I know what's on your mind (And I know just what's on your mind, your mind, your mind, mind)
I know this feeling is crazy
It's mutual, baby (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
But we don't have to rush something real
(We don't have to rush it, baby)
Baby, if you're willing to wait, we can just take our time (Take our time)
(Our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late?
And I know what's
