By R. Goodrum / G. Ballard



Ooh, ooh, ooh



Oh, yeah



Baby, what's your hurry



Where are you going so fast



You can keep your motor runnin'



But don't run out of gas



Getting there is half the fun



Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me



And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)



For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you



So take a little longer, my love can only get stronger 



(Stronger, stronger)



If we're gonna climb a mountain 



We gotta take our sweet time



When you're traveling down love's highway 



Don't you know speeding is a crime



Listen, getting there is half the fun



Cause you've got the rest of the night to hold me 



And the best of my love's yet to come (yet to come)



For the rest of my life I'm gonna love you



So take a little longer 



My love can only get stronger (stronger, stronger)



Oh, my Baby, we gotta slow down (ooh)



Take your time, ease your mind (oh, Baby, mmm)



Stronger, rest of my life, I'm gonna love you



So just take a little longer, and our love is gonna get stronger



(Cause you've got the rest of the night) oh---, yeah



(And the best of my love) yet to come (yet to come)



Oh, baby, for (rest of my life) I'm gonna love you



I want you to take your time



Love me baby, love me baby, love me, love me (rest of my life)



Slow down baby, I ain't going no where (best of my love)



So why don't we just take our sweet time (rest of my life)



Don't rush me, you're gonna crush me, let the feeling come



Oh, remember that song about a slow hand (rest of the night)



Now she had the right idea (oh--)



So, Baby, what's the hurry, (best of my love) 



we've got forever



If we don't use it up too fast (oh, ah--)



Take it slow, calm down, smell the roses



We'll get there, don't you worry



(Rest of the night, to hold me) (best of my love, yet to come...)
