Willing To Wait
Rihanna · 3 CD Collector's Set [2010]
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.
