Take Your Time lyrics

My poor broke mama told me

When I was twelve years old

You eat and talk much too fast

There's 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

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 'em slow

And since I turned thirteen

Lord, I ain't never wait no more

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 his fun
