Slow Burn

Lyrics

Title: “Slow Burn”
By BeBe Nyte
[Intro]
Mmm...
Don't rush it...
Let it simmer, baby...
You know how I like it...
[Verse 1]
You said, "I need more than a moment, I need meaning"
So I lit some incense, turned on the dimmest ceiling
Told you, “get here quick, I’ve been marinating feelings”
Cause with you, I want the fire, but I need the healing
You pulled up with wine and that look in your eyes
Not a word needed, your touch got me high
In the kitchen, no clothes, just laughter and spice
We cookin' up love — ain't no heat like mine
[Pre-Chorus]
You set the tone — (I light the flame)
You pull me close — (I say your name)
Ain’t no race, we cruise in lanes
Time moves slow when we playing these games
[Chorus]
It’s a slow burn, baby, and I like it like that
No need to rush when the moment’s this packed
From the convo to the contact, it's real
Love tastes better when we cook it with feel
Let it drip, let it tease, let it dance on the skin
What starts in the mind always ends in sin
Courting ain’t dead, they just move too fast
But I love a man who lets the passion last
[Verse 2]
You plan us a trip, not just flights, but memories
You see romance in everything, from dinner plates to symphonies
You tell me “take a break, I’ll draw your bath, just breathe”
Now that’s the kind of love that makes the soul believe
Send me voice notes when I’m stressed, say “I’m proud of you”
Little things you do remind me this love is true
You love the journey, not just the view
And that’s why this flame won’t flicker through
[Bridge]
Baby, take your time…
Let’s play this like vinyl, not streaming on fast-forward
I don’t need a climax in two minutes
I need a novel, I need a story — slow chapters, bold sentences
We write with our fingers and rewrite with our breath
And tonight, we make love that outlasts death
'Cause the real ones know how to take it there...
[Final Chorus]
It’s a slow burn, baby, and I’m burning with grace
From your lips to your fingertips, no part goes to waste
Baecations and playlists, we do it our way
And even when we don't speak, the vibe still say...
We're investing more than just bodies and time
We buildin’ something timeless, one slow grind at a time
Courting ain’t dead — it’s alive in your hands
So pour one more, and let’s dance in the plans
[Outro]
You make romance feel like rebellion...
And baby, I'm down for the revolution...
Slow...
Burn...
