Take Your Time (Single Version / B Side)

My poor broke mama told me

When I was twelve years old

You eat and talk much too fast

Theres one thing you should know

Take your time my sweet baby

Take your time my blue eyed son

Well you may never have his money

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

I can never give you money honey

I can never buy you clothes

But the way them women been lookin' at you

Someday you should have both

If you take your time my sweet baby

Take your time and love them slow

And if you play your cards right

You won't never wait no more oh

Yeah well the ladies like their diamonds

They like their brand new clothes

But I was blessed with plenty

Of other things 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 can never give you money honey

I can never buy you clothes

But the way them schoolgirls look at you

Someday you should have both

If you take your time my sweet baby

Take your time and be my son

Well you might never have his money

But you won't miss no his man his fun

Baby yeah

Oh yeah

Ooh well ladies like their diamonds

I tell ya like their brand new clothes

But I was blessed with plenty

Of the thing they love the most ooh

I take my time with the ladies

I take my time I love them slow

And since I turned thirteen

Lord I ain't never wait no more
