[Intro — whispered, soft jazz piano] Don't rush, baby... Some presents Are worth taking your time. [Verse 1 — sultry, intimate vocals] Red satin lying on the sofa Candlelight across the floor You've been waiting since December For the moment at the door Golden shadows on the ceiling Little snowflakes on the glass You can tell me that you want me But don't make this moment pass [Pre-Chorus — gentle, teasing build] Take your time Let the whole world wait There's no hurry Christmas can be late One little kiss And another one follows Baby, we've got all night And nowhere to go [Chorus — silky, hypnotic] Unwrap me slowly Take your time with me tonight Like a little Christmas secret Waiting underneath the lights Unwrap me slowly Don't you hurry through the night Every ribbon has a story Every kiss a little sign Oh, you know me But there's more for you to find So unwrap me slowly One little piece at a time [Post-Chorus — whispered harmonies] Slowly, slowly Baby, take your time Slowly, slowly Read between the lines Oh-oh-oh Unwrap me slowly Tonight [Verse 2 — sensual R&B groove] There's a record playing softly Something vintage, something sweet You keep tracing little circles With your fingers next to me I can feel you getting closer I can hear the winter wind And the longer that you're waiting The more I wanna let you in [Pre-Chorus — layered harmonies] Take your time Let the candles burn There's a thousand little things About me left to learn One little kiss And another one follows Baby, we've got all night And nowhere to go [Chorus — fuller groove] Unwrap me slowly Take your time with me tonight Like a little Christmas secret Waiting underneath the lights Unwrap me slowly Don't you hurry through the night Every ribbon has a story Every kiss a little sign Oh, you know me But there's more for you to find So unwrap me slowly One little piece at a time [Bridge — stripped Rhodes, vulnerable vocals] There's more beneath the glitter Than a pretty little scene There's a heart behind the ribbons And a thousand hidden dreams So if you really wanna know me Don't stop at what you see The sweetest part of loving Is discovering all of me [Build — whispered with soft strings] No rush... No hurry... Just you... And me... [Final Chorus — soaring silky harmonies] UNWRAP ME SLOWLY Take your time with me tonight Let the snow fall past the windows Let the stars become our lights Unwrap me slowly There's no finish line in sight Every little hidden piece of me Is yours to find tonight Oh, you know me But there's more for you to find So unwrap me slowly One little piece at a time [Outro — whispered, fading sleigh bells] See? Wasn't that worth waiting for? [Soft laugh] Merry Christmas, darling.
