(Verse 1)
My poor broke mama told me
When I was twelve years old
You eat and talk much too fast
There's one thing you should know
(Chorus)
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
(Verse 2)
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
(Chorus)
If you take your time my sweet baby
Take your time and love them slow
And if you play your cards right now
You won't never wait no more
(Verse 3)
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
(Chorus)
I take my time with the ladies
I take my time and I love 'em slow
And since I turned thir--teen, Lord
I ain't never wait no more
(Guitar solo)
(Verse 4)
I can never give you money honey
I can never buy you clothes
But the way them schoolgirls look at you
Someday you gonna have both
(Chorus)
If you 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 mans fun
