Take My Time
Issa Rodriguez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Since I've felt this way about somebody, yes, it′s true
You just suddenly came into my life
I know you're different somehow, I just knew
There's this feeling inside me
That′s dying to get out of my chest
But I should wait a while
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Hey, I'm gonna take my time
Work on myself, I hope you don′t mind
'Cause you, you make me wanna be
The best version of myself I could be
Say you know that this could be something
More than we could ever imagine, don′t you agree?
When the right time comes I know we could be
The best thing that this world could see
Hey-hey, oh-oh-oh
I just couldn't believe you′ve been there all along
I never thought that you would be (never thought that you would be)
The one that I would eventually adore
I can't believe that I didn't see (why didn′t I see, da-da-da-da)
The way that you think and speak
You just make me wanna be with you
And when I look at you
I know you′re thinking of the same thing too
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Hey, I'm gonna take my time
Work on myself, I hope you don′t mind
'Cause you, you make me wanna be
The best version of myself I could be
Say you know that this could be something
More than we could ever imagine, don′t you agree?
(We could be something)
When the right time comes I know we could be
The best thing that this world could see
Ba-ba-ba-ba-ba, da-da-da-da, ba-ba, da-da-da
Let's take our time
Take it slow, don′t you know that we will be fine
Be alright, for sure, and I wanna be deserving of your love for me
Maybe soon, we'll be together then you'll see
That true love is worth the wait (true love is worth the wait)
Don′t gotta leave this up to fate (don′t leave it up to fate)
Baby, I know, it's never too late
Woah-oh-oh-oh
Hey, I′m gonna take my time
Work on myself, I hope you don't mind
′Cause you, you make me wanna be
The best version of myself I could be
Say you know that this could be something
More than we could ever imagine, don't you agree?
(We could be something)
When the right time comes I know we could be
The best thing that this world could see
