18 Contributors Let’s Wait Awhile Lyrics “Let’s Wait Awhile” is the fifth single from Janet Jackson’s Control album. The song relays a message of abstinence inspired by a conversation the song’s co-writer Melanie Andrews had with her boyfriend… Read More [Verse 1] There's something I want to tell you There's something I think that you should know It's not that I shouldn't really love you Let's take it slow [Verse 2] When we get to know each other And we're both feeling much stronger Then let's try to talk it over Let's wait awhile longer [Chorus] Let's wait awhile Before it's too late Let's wait awhile Before we go too far [Verse 3] Remember that special night? When all of the stars were shining bright We made our first endeavor To stay together [Verse 4] We made our very first promise To love, to share And be real honest But on that very first night It wasn't quite right[Chorus] Let's wait awhile Before it's too late Let's wait awhile Our love will be great Let's wait awhile Before we go too far [Bridge] I didn't really know not to let all my feelings show To save some for later so our love can be greater [Verse 5] You said you would always love me Remember I said the same thing too You don't have to be frightened with my love Because I'll never give up on you [Chorus] Let's wait awhile Before it's too late You know you can't rush love Love Let's wait awhile (Ooh, ooh) Before it's too late Let's wait awhile (Wait awhile) Our love will be great Let's wait awhile Before we go too far (Far, far, oh) Let's wait awhile (Let's just take our time) Before it's too late Let's wait awhile (Love's so good) Sure our love will be there Let's wait awhile (Slow it down) Before we go too far[Outro] I promise I'll be worth the wait
