Take Your Time

From the time you were a little girl

I watched you playing by the river 

Running through the cotton fields 

Growing up way too fast

Lost in your own little world

You were only fifteen going on twenty-one 

Working on trying to skip on past



I see and know where you are

You feel all that fire in your heart

I hear that boy pulling up in his car



You wanna leave

Think you're ready to fly

Say you know what you want

And you've made up your mind

But there'll never be another 

Like this moment in your life

Take it from me

Ah girl, Take your time



So much of me in you

I was always in a hurry 

And I knew where I was heading

I was gonna get there yesterday

Love will come out of the blue

And it's never what you think it is

And even if it really is

It ain't gonna hurt to wait



I see and know where you are



You feel all that fire in your heart

I hear that boy pulling up in his car



You wanna leave

Think you're ready to fly

Say you know what you want

And you've made up your mind

But there'll never be another 

Like this moment in your life

Take it from me

Ah yeah, take your time



I see and know where you are

You feel all that fire in your heart

I hear that boy driving up in his car



You wanna leave

Think you're ready to fly

Say you know what you want 

And you've made up your mind

But there'll never be another 

Like this moment in your life

Take it from me

Ah girl, take your time



Take your time

Ah baby girl, if you really want

Take your time
