Willing To Wait
Rihanna · Rihanna's - 3 Cd Collector's Set [2009]
Just hear me out
Something I've gotta let you know
There's no need to push
No need to rush
You know you had me from hello
When it comes to my heart I don't play
Baby boy can't you see the stop sign
Were movin' much to fast
Baby love doesn't grow in a day
Let's get it right the first time and make this feelin' last
Baby if your willing to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late
And I know whats on your mind (on your mind)
I know this feeling is crazy
It's mutual baby
But we don't have to rush something real
Baby if your willing to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Boy can't you see
Am not tryin' to be
A girl that gets takin' for a ride
If you take you time
Then you will find
There's so much more to me inside
You say there's no need to delay
Your telling me to trust you
Boy you know I want to baby
But my hearts can so easily break
Before we take this very far
Show me who you really are
Baby if your willing to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late
And I know whats on your mind (on your mind)
I know this feeling is crazy
It's mutual baby
But we don't have to rush something real
Baby if your willing to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Hey baby
Baby luck doesn't grow in a day
Let's get right the first time and make this feelin' last
Baby if your willing to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Don't you know that it's getting late
And I know whats on your mind (on your mind)
I know this feeling is crazy
It's mutual baby
But we don't have to rush something real
Baby if your willing to wait
We can just take our time (take our time)
Willing To Wait
Released as part of Rihanna's 2009 collector's set, 'Willing To Wait' stands as a poignant track from her early solo career, reflecting the themes of patience and emotional resilience that would define her later work. The song captures a specific moment of contemplation, balancing R&B sensibilities with a melodic structure that emphasizes the human experience of waiting for something meaningful. While not a chart-topping single in its original release, the track showcases Rihanna's vocal maturity and her ability to convey deep sentiment through her recordings during this transitional period in her discography. It serves as a reminder of her artistic growth, bridging the gap between her pop stardom and her more introspective, soulful explorations that characterized her subsequent albums.
