Lynyrd Skynyrd - Take Your Time Lyrics

Well, my poor, broke mama told me
When I was twelve years old
Said, "You eat, talk, yeah, man, too fast"
There's one thing you should know
Just 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 can never give you money, honey
I could never buy you clothes
But the way them women been 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 'em slow
And since I turned thirteen, Lord
I ain't never wait no more

Guitar, yeah

Well, I could never give you that 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

Bp, yeah
Oh, yeah

Ooh, ladies like the diamonds
I tell ya, I like their brand new clothes
But I was blessed with plenty of
The thing they love most
I take my time with the ladies
I take my time, I love 'em slow, yeah
And since I turned thirteen, Lord
I ain't never wait no more
