Don't give it up, what you possess is special
No need to rush, tell him how you feel
He'll wait a while, what is meant to be will be
So don't give it up, don't give it up

It's so easy to find a man
But it ain't easy to find real love
She's been searching all of fifteen years
And now she's found it, but she's so scared

He wants to go faster, faster
She wants to just slow it down
He wants to go further, further
Let me break it down

Don't give it up, what you possess is special
No need to rush, tell him how you feel
He'll wait a while, what is meant to be will be
So don't give it up, don't give it up

See you're so young lady, got your life in front of you
I know you love that boy, but a real man deserves you
And he ain't real and maybe he's not the one
If he don't understand how you feel

He says if you love me, love me
Why won't you just do it now?
She says she ain't ready, ready
Sister, listen now

See there's so much for her to be thinking about
But all she sees is her man
True love lasts more than one night
You will know the perfect time, so wait till you're ready

Don't give it up, what you possess is special
No need to rush, tell him how you feel
He'll wait a while, what is meant to be will be
So don't give it up, don't give it up

Let the beat roll on and on and on
Let the beat roll on and on and on
And the beat goes on and on and on
Let the beat go on and on and on
Until you're ready, baby, until you're ready, baby
