Lori Carson has a lot in common with Aimee Mann, but Lori has yet to get the attention that Aimee has. Everything is a moody, atmospheric album, but you can tell that she is holding back. Although Aimee sounds at home with her low-key rock, there's something in Lori's voice that says she wants to raise her voice above a whisper, but she can't quite do it. Her lyrics, though, are very personal and intense. "My first lover beat me black and blue. I was 15 years old. Couple of others, they were cheaters, too. But I never had nobody half as mean as you." It's that sort of writing that has made Lori's career, and that is Everything's strength.
Take Your time
Lori Carson Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Take your time and think about it, baby.
Take your time and think about it.
Take your time and think about it, baby.
I've learned how to wait.
I know how to wait for love.
Oooh,
Not 'cause I didn't know just what I had.
I think it scared me to find a real thing
With so much emotion
So much sexual feeling.
Take your time and think about it, baby.
Take your time and think about it.
Take your time and think about it, baby.
I've learned how to wait.
I know how to wait for love.
But maybe it's a sign of the times.
There's nothing we can't replace.
But one of a kind is a joy I find
When I see your face.
Oooh,
Take your time and think about it, baby.
Take your time and think about it.
Take your time and think about it, baby.
I learned how to wait.
I know how to wait.
I won't have to wait for love.
Take your time.
(Take your time.)
Take your time.
(Take your time.)
Take your time.
