Song byAlicia Keys

in AlbumThe Diary Of Alicia Keys

Oooooo Baby

There's something that I gotta tell ya

I think that you should know what's on my mind

Ooo baby I'm feelin our situation

Is getting stronger how we want it

But I gotta take my time

There is so much about you that I want to explore

Physical attraction, we just can't ignore it,

But before we go too far across the line

Gotta really make sure that I'm sure

[Chorus:]

Slow down baby, let's take our time

Slow down baby, if you don't mind

Slow down baby, before we make this move

Slow down baby, baby slow down

Cause b4 we make this move

I think it's really 2 soon

Oooo baby it's like I'm knowing you forever

My medulla oblongata electrified

Oooo baby whenever we're alone 2gether

Bout to explode and it feels so right

But I gotta take my time.

There is so much about you that I want to explore

Physical attraction, we just can't ignore it,

But before we go too far across the line

Gotta really make sure that I'm sure

[Chorus:]

Slow down baby, let's take our time

Slow down baby, if you don't mind

Slow down baby, before we make this move

Slow down baby, baby slow down

Cause b4 we make this move

Baby it's really 2 soon

Soon, yeah....

See I know what is best, cause I've been there before

Gave myself to someone for all the wrong reasons

But this time around, I don't want to do that again

I just want to make this the way that I've dreamed of

So baby you gotta...

[Chorus:]

Slow down baby, let's take our time

Slow down baby, if you don't mind

Slow down baby, before we make this move

Slow down baby, baby slow down

Cause b4 we make this move

I think it's really 2 soon

Slow down

You gotta slow down

Baby slow down

You gotta slow down

You gotta slow down [and out]
