I’LL TAKE MY TIME

I took my time and I took my chances,

Gonna find what true romance is....

Mmm, so I called you on the line.

My friends all say I should just think of me,

Well that’s just fine, but I disagree,

It happens all the time. They say

“What are you doing, boy? You gotta treat her like a toy

So dude, come on, pick up the pace! You gotta join the human race!

Come on! Move this thing along!”

But I think they’re wrong

I’ll take my time, there’s nothing you can do about it

I’ll take my time, some things will never change!

I think you’ll find there’s something very good about it

I’ll take my time to tell you that you’re mine!

I took my time ‘cause I didn’t know,

Gonna find where true love grows....

Mmm, so I kept you on the line.

My friends all say I shouldn’t get no rest

Well that’s just fine, but I regress

Mmmm, It happens all the time. They tell me:

“What are you doing, son? You gotta know you’re number one

She ain’t gonna wait forever, you gotta get her now or never

Come on! Move this thing along!”

But I think they’re wrong

I’ll take my time, there’s nothing you can do about it

I’ll take my time, some things will never change!

I think you’ll find there’s something very good about it

I’ll take my time to tell you that you’re mine!

I took my time and I took my chances,

Gonna find just what true romance is but

I’ll take my time.....

I understand what you’re telling me,

Still it’s not who I..I..I..wanna be but

I’ll take my time.....

I’ll take my time, there’s nothing you can do about it

I’ll take my time, some things will never change!

I think you’ll find there’s something very good about it

I’ll take my time to tell you that you’re mine!
