Take My Time
Terri Clark Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You wanna hurry it along
'Cause you can't get close enough
And I know it wouldn't feel wrong
But it's all right going slowly
Just fine getting to know me
I'll give you one thing you can't buy
Like a river flowing
We can roll on and on
Not knowing where we're going
Living in the moment before it's gone
But it's all right going slowly
Just fine getting to know me
I'll give you one thing you can't buy
Baby you can take my time
I know what you want
I'll be here holding on
But it's all right going slowly
Just fine getting to know me
I'll give you one thing you can't buy
Baby you can take my time
Heart will be waiting
Baby you can take my time
My time, going slowly
Getting to know me
You can take my time
