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

My poor broke mama told me

When I was twelve years old

See you eat, talk, get mad 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 may never have his money

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

Well, I can never give you money honey

I can never buy you clothes

But the way them women been look 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, oh

Yeah, well, the ladies like their 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

Yeah, I can never give you that money honey

I can never buy you clothes

But the way them schoolgirls look at you

Someday you gonna have both

Take your time my sweet baby

Take your time and be my son, yeah

Well you might never have his money

But you won't miss no rich man's 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 'em slow

And since I turned thirteen

Lord, I ain't never wait no more
