Lynyrd Skynyrd Take Your Time (B-Side Single Version) lyrics

My poor broke mama told me
When I was twelve years old
See, 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

And 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 'em slow
And if you play your cards right now
You won't never wait no more

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 'em slow

And since I turned thirteen
Lord, I ain't never wait no more, it's [Incomprehensible]

Well, I can never give you that money, honey
I can never buy you clothes
But the way them schoolgirls look at you
Someday you're gonna have both

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 rich man's fun

Baby yeah, oh yeah

Ladies like their diamonds
I tell ya, 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
