Take My Time
Simon Dale Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

It's getting hard to hold my own
It seems to me, the less I know the better
Do you look different has my mind just changed?
This things a mess, who's to blame

So if we wait just a minute we gon' find out, what I've been waiting for
But since i'm here
I'm gonna take my time
But only for a minute
There ain't no time like now
So hold me while we wait

We spent some time just playing games
It's getting old, I can't wait much longer
If you're for real just let me know
Playing's easy, loving's hard

So if we wait just a minute we gon' find out, what I've been waiting for
But since i'm here

Im gonna take my time
But only for a minute
There ain't no time like now
So hold me while we wait

Im gonna take my time
But only for a minute




There ain't no time like now
So hold me while we wait
