My poor broke mama told me
When I was 12 years old
Said, "You eat, talk, yeah, man, 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
Yeah, 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 them slow
And if you play your cards right
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 13, Lord
I ain't never wait no more
Guitar, yeah
Well, I can never give you money, honey
I can never buy you clothes
But the way those schoolgirls look at you
Someday you should have both
Take your time, my sweet baby
Take your time blue-eyed son
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 you, I like their brand-new clothes
But I was blessed with plenty of the thing they love most
Oh, I take my time with the ladies
I take my time, I love 'em slow, yeah
And since I turned 13, Lord
I ain't never wait no more
