Take Your Time Lyrics - Second Helping - Lynyrd Skynyrd

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 look at you 

Some day 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 

Yeah, well the 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 

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 

Well, you might never have his money 

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