Take Your time
Mo Thugs Lyrics

The word "love" is a hell of a word to be sayin'
Love is a powerful word that should be used with caution.

You don't know how to use it with caution
You might not be aware of the consequences of using the word love indiscriminately.

It's a death-defying game to play
Taking chances with love can be risky and dangerous emotionally.

And when you're thinking of the one you want to get next to
When you desire someone, make sure it's a mutual feeling before declaring your love.

Be sure it's a mutual feeling
Make sure both parties involved share the same feelings before taking things further.

'cause these are the words they'll say
Because the person might say things to persuade you to believe they love you.

"Hey, baby, you're the only one I'm on"
The other person says they are exclusively interested in you.

They kick a few lines from a slow song
The other person is using romantic words to make you feel special.

having you thinking you got it going on so strong
The other person makes you believe that you have a strong connection.

And can't nothing in this world go wrong
The person makes you feel like this moment will last forever.

They say, "Baby, I'm yours So go and close the bedroom door Make sure the binds are closed"
The other person is suggesting a sexual encounter and wants to make sure there are no interruptions.

Yo keep you comin' up out your clothes The next day they don't know you no more
They are only interested in having sex with you and will not commit to a relationship afterward.

So, baby, take your time Help me, ease my mind Every little chance you get, you want to do me It's so hard to find a one-of-a-kind And when these words are said Don't let it get to your head Once the lights go out You'll hear a scream and shout The next day somebody else is misled
Take your time, don't rush into things, and be cautious with whom you trust. People might say things to deceive you and then disappear.

Who do you love?
Question yourself about who you love and why.

(You have to ask yourself)
This is a question that only you can answer honestly.

Is it someone you can count on?
Is the person trustworthy and reliable?

Someone who's there for you
Is the person emotionally available for a relationship?

Someone who will be true No matter what the situation may be And are they sent from above?
Is the person authentic and genuine, and is the relationship meant to be?

This question is asked for a reason
Questioning the sincerity of someone's love is important for emotional stability.

'Cause some of them want to play And then go their separate ways
Some people are not interested in a committed relationship and are only looking for a good time.

And hey, these are the words they'll say
These people will use romantic words to persuade you to believe they love you.

Ain't never had game, I shot real, shot real
I'm not interested in playing games and would rather be upfront and honest.

'Cause complications in your conversation
Complications arise when there is no clear communication.

So you know it ain't real, gotta be real
When the communication is not genuine, the relationship is not authentic.

So why you keep fallin' for lames and games?
Why do you keep getting involved with people who are not honest about their intentions?

Shame shame shame How many strippings you want to take Until you learn the game's another definition for play?
You should be ashamed of how many times you've been deceived until you realize that dating is like playing a game.

So, won't ya ease-a your mind and block out all distraction
Take your time and focus on the things that matter most, like building a meaningful relationship.

Slow down your action
Don't be in a hurry to jump into a relationship or a sexual encounter.

Ya see, 'cause that's your disaster
If you rush into things with the wrong person, it could end in disaster.

Take your time Ease my mind (Baby, won't you take your time?) Take your time, help me ease my mind
Take your time and help me feel secure about our relationship.

Every little chance you get, you want to do me It's so hard to find, I'm one of a kind
It's challenging to find someone special with whom you have a genuine connection.

And when these words are said Don't let it get to your head Once the lights go out You'll hear a scream and shout The next day somebody else is misled
Don't be fooled by romantic words and take your time to make sure the other person's feelings are genuine.
