Janet Jackson - Let's Wait Awhile Lyrics






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
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

Let's wait awhile
Before it's too late
Let's wait awhile
Before we go too far

Remember that special night
When all of the stars were shining bright
We made our first endeavor to stay together
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

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

I didn't really know not to let all my feelings show
To save some for later so our love can be greater
You said you would always love me
Remember I said the same thing to you
You don't have to be frightened with my love
Because, I'll never give up on you
Let's wait awhile
Ah well before it's too late
You know you can't rush love, love

Let's wait awhile
(Ooh hoo hoo)
Before it's too late
(Let's wait awhile)
Wait awhile
(Our love will be great)
Let's wait awhile
(Wait awhile, ooh)
Before we go too far, oh, oh, ooh

Let's wait awhile
(Let's just take our time)
Before it's too late
(Let's wait awhile)
Your love's so good
(Our love will be great)
We shouldn't rush in
(Let's wait awhile)
Slow it down
(Before we go too far)
Ooh

La da lee de da da de de de, da da da da la da
La da lee de da da de de de, da da da da la da da
La da lee de da da de de de

I promise, I'll be worth the wait

  71. J.... ....

    When I was your man for five years and you were my woman for Four months - Patrice O’Neal

  72. G.... M....

    I can’t complain she showed attention, when most prevail and fail comprehension, she seems to understand my hurt, when even when you’re not alone you feel lonelier at first, she’s miles away even when she isn’t, and my smiles a grave or more like caged inns and stoney prisons, her love was supposed to be the key, but she locked me up and threw it away when she showed it to me, I feel overloaded with grief, I should’ve known better to show her my feat, or ability, or sense of wonder, I adore her resistance, and insist that love will pull me under, not raise me like a ladder, when all she gave me was a look and endless chatter, I confessed feelings I should’ve meant to hide, she lead me astray like runaways in a foreign cab ride,

  73. G.... M....

    Waiting while debating whether the mating wasn’t worth concentrating, playing with my heart it seems, but is every risk involved worth taking, she’s a dream, but I’m tired and deflating I need to feel more awakened, she’s a valley of substance, I want to convey my feelings in a more actual function, she doesn’t seem to want this, when dreams become bad and reality seems to haunt this, there’s no escape, and fate falls apart like my previous concepts, she’s always far away but close to me like my conscious, I want to feel her top lips, I want to hold her close without anyone to stop this, but she has her doubts and I understand her cautions, my life isn’t right but it’s the light I use to process, right from wrong, the song is right, but I feel it’s wrong for her to block this, right? I imagine her and I locked in loving arms and content, legs cross like exes in frequent losses, with much to gain and maybe just as much to lose, I lay alone confused in a broken promise

  74. R.... ....

    This song was everything growing up. 🖤🙏🏼

  75. K.... S....

    'I promise. I'll be worth the wait.'

  90. T.... A....

    It was the 80's and a little kid was going to his first school dance. The whole night he wanted to ask this girl he had a crush on if he could dance with her but he was scared. They played the last song of the night, "Let's wait awhile". He finally got the courage to ask her. She said yes. It felt like they were the only two people in the building for those few minutes. He got her number at the end of the night. That was the first time he had done anything like that before... I wish could relive some of those moments but when I hear this song it always reminds me of that night.

  91. A.... C....

    Through her music she damn sure was worth the wait 🥰😋❤️
