Take Your Time
LAVA Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Came out here to see you
Didn't know what to find
How could I believe you?
Leave me alone this time
There is no reason for you to hide away
I'm yours, what more can I say?

Take your time, baby
Take your time
Take your time, baby
Take your time

I can still remember the good times we used to share
Now you try to tell me you never really cared
There is no reason for us to fight
You found another and you want to stay with him tonight
Leave me and I don't know what to do
But I'll be waiting for you

Take your time, baby
Take your time
Take your time, baby
Take your time
Take your time, baby
Take your time
Take your time, baby
Take your time

Every time I try to walk away
Something tells me: turn around and stay
I want you baby, I need you

Time, baby
Take your time
Take your time, baby
Take your time
Take your time, baby
Take your time
Take your time, baby
Take your time

Take your time, baby
Take your time
Take your time, baby
Take your time
Take your time, baby
Take your time
Take your time, baby




Take your time
Take your time...
