Baby, We got all the time in the world So why don't we just take it nice and slow? We got everything we need To plant a lovin' seed And all the time we need to watch it grow. Stay down Stay at least until the fire stops burnin' At least until the room has stopped it's turnin' And when the embers dyin' We're lyin' in the afterglow It'll be as sweet as anything we've ever known Baby, We got all the time in the world So why don't we just take it nice and slow? We got everything we need To plant a lovin' seed And all the time we need to watch it grow.
