Take Your Time (Single Version)

Written by：Edward King/Ronnie Zant

Well my poor broke mama told me

When I was twelve years old

Said you eatin' talkin' 'nare too fast

There's one thing you should know

Should take your time my sweet baby

Take your time my blue eyed son

Well you might never have his money

But you won't miss no rich man's fun

Yeah I could never give you money honey

I could never buy you clothes

But the way them women been look at you

Someday you should have both

If you take your time my sweet baby

Take your time and love 'em slow

And if you play your cards right now

You won't never wait no more

Ha ha

Yeah well ladies like the diamonds

They like their brand new clothes

But I was blessed with plenty of

The thing they love the most

I take my time with the ladies

I take my time and I love them slow

And since I turned thirteen Lord

I ain't never wait no more

It's I

Yeah I could never give you money honey

I could never buy you clothes

But the way these schoolgirls look at you

Someday you gonna have both

Take your time my sweet baby

Take your time my blue eyed son yeah

Well you might never have his money

But you won't miss no rich man's fun

Baby yeah

Oh yeah

Oooh ladies like the diamonds

I tell ya I like their brand new clothes

But I was blessed with plenty of

The thing they love the most oh

I take my time with the ladies

I take my time I love them slow yeah

And since I turned thirteen Lord

I ain't never wait no more
