Don't Rush
Jay Sean · Me Against Myself [2004]
It's been a while since the last time that I saw you girl
Why is it that you just run away
What is it that you don't wanna say
See girl I know your type
Never can seem to just settle down
Coz you're in search of those butterflies
Isn't that why you keep walking in and out of my life
I won't complain, if you won't stay
Go ahead and play those games
Coz I know that in time no doubt
You'll come around
But just for now
[Chorus:]
Baby don't you rush
Girl we got the whole night
Touch caress and make love all night
Take it take it from me
Wake me before you leave [x2]
I don't know, is it me? Am I imagining?
Tell me girl, don't you feel anything?
When you're here lying beside of me
And now you're telling me
That it's late and you just gotta go
Why is it that you only wanna leave
At the point that you think that you might be falling in love
I won't complain
If you won't stay
Go ahead and play those games
Baby don't you rush
Girl we got the whole night
Touch caress and make love all night
Take it take it from me
Wake me before you leave
[Chorus (x2)]
Something in the way you walk
When you go and turn your back on me
Tell me what you're trying to prove
When you get your things and leave
You can try to hide the truth
I don't buy the things you say
I know you'll be back again
That's why I'm never standing in your way
Baby don't you rush
Girl we got the whole night
Touch caress and make love all night
Take it take it from me
Wake me before you leave
[Chorus (x6)]
Why is it that you just run away
What is it that you don't wanna say
See girl I know your type
Never can seem to just settle down
Coz you're in search of those butterflies
Isn't that why you keep walking in and out of my life
I won't complain, if you won't stay
Go ahead and play those games
Coz I know that in time no doubt
You'll come around
But just for now
[Chorus:]
Baby don't you rush
Girl we got the whole night
Touch caress and make love all night
Take it take it from me
Wake me before you leave [x2]
I don't know, is it me? Am I imagining?
Tell me girl, don't you feel anything?
When you're here lying beside of me
And now you're telling me
That it's late and you just gotta go
Why is it that you only wanna leave
At the point that you think that you might be falling in love
I won't complain
If you won't stay
Go ahead and play those games
Baby don't you rush
Girl we got the whole night
Touch caress and make love all night
Take it take it from me
Wake me before you leave
[Chorus (x2)]
Something in the way you walk
When you go and turn your back on me
Tell me what you're trying to prove
When you get your things and leave
You can try to hide the truth
I don't buy the things you say
I know you'll be back again
That's why I'm never standing in your way
Baby don't you rush
Girl we got the whole night
Touch caress and make love all night
Take it take it from me
Wake me before you leave
[Chorus (x6)]
Don't Rush
