Lyrics

Note to listener:
This song is about celibacy, obviously not a hugely popular thing, I know, and I know that it wouldn't fly in any market other than the Christian one, but I think it COULD fly in that one, which is why I'm adding this little note here. Every person who's heard this has fallen in love with it on first listening, and it stays in their head, so PLEASE don't let the "uncommercial" subject matter turn you off. Celibacy is growing in popularity, particularly among Christians, which I am NOT one of.

LET?S NOT MAKE LOVE

VERSE: I?D BE LYIN? IF I TOLD YOU
I DON?T WANNA DO MORE THAN JUST HOLD YOU
AND THE WAY YOU LOOK MAKES IT SO HARD TO WALK AWAY
BUT MAYBE WE SHOULD WAIT A LITTLE LONGER
TILL THIS FRIENDSHIP?S GROWN EVEN STRONGER
I NEVER THOUGHT I?D FEEL THIS WAY
I CAN?T BELIEVE WHAT I?M ABOUT TO SAY

CHORUS: LET?S NOT MAKE LOVE
CUZ I'VE ALWAYS GONE SO FAST,
AND IT NEVER SEEMS TO LAST
SO LET?S NOT MAKE LOVE
THOUGH IT MAY BE OUT OF STYLE, WE CAN WAIT A LITTLE WHILE
UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT WE?VE GOT
BABY, LET?S NOT MAKE LOVE

VERSE: LOVE IS BETTER SLOWLY DISCOVERED
IT?S NOT THE KIND OF THING YOU ALL AT ONCE UNCOVER
HEY GIRL, WHEN WE FALL, LET?S KNOW WHAT WE?RE FALLING FOR
AND THIS TIME, WHEN IT COMES TO PASSION, LET?S BE PATIENT
EVEN THOUGH WE WANNA GIVE IN TO TEMPTATION
BEFORE WE OPEN UP THAT DOOR
LET?S TAKE IT SLOW UNTIL WE KNOW FOR SURE

CHORUS:

BRIDGE: I KNOW IT SOUNDS A LITTLE STRANGE
AND IT?S NOT THAT I DON?T WANT YOU
BUT LET?S DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR A CHANGE
INSTEAD OF DOIN? WHAT WE WANT TO

CHORUS: LET?S NOT MAKE LOVE
CUZ I'VE ALWAYS GONE SO FAST, AND IT NEVER SEEMS TO LAST
SO LET?S NOT MAKE LOVE
THOUGH IT MAY BE OUT OF STYLE, WE CAN WAIT A LITTLE WHILE
UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT WE?VE GOT, BABY, LET?S NOT
UNTIL WE KNOW WHAT WE?VE GOT
BABY, LET?S NOT MAKE LOVE
