Willing To Wait

Rihanna · 3 CD Collector's Set [2010]

Baby slow down

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 on Rihanna's 2010 3 CD Collector's Set, 'Willing To Wait' stands as a poignant track from her mid-career period, reflecting themes of patience and emotional resilience. The song's production blends pop sensibilities with a reflective tone, characteristic of her work during the transition from her early R&B roots to her more polished, mainstream pop sound. It complements the broader discography of that era, which often explored personal growth and the complexities of modern relationships. While not a chart-topping single in its own right, the recording contributes to the depth of her catalog, showcasing her ability to craft introspective lyrics wrapped in catchy melodies that resonate with listeners seeking authenticity in pop music.
