You been working too hard
And that's a fact

Lay your heavy load down
So we can stop and kick back
It seems we never take the time to do
All the things we want to, yeah

Our love is all we have to give, yeah
There are so many things
For us to do and see
Let's take some time to be alone
Lock the door
Pull out the phone, yeah
And baby we can do it

The lyrics to The O Band's song Take Your Time seem to invite the listener to take a break from the hustle and bustle of life and enjoy some quality time with someone special. The repeated phrase "let's do it" creates a sense of urgency and excitement, encouraging the listener to join in on the fun.
The opening lines address the listener directly, urging them to slow down and take a break from the demands of everyday life. The lyrics suggest that we need to relax and enjoy ourselves in order to fully appreciate life and all it has to offer. The idea of taking time to "laugh and smile" is a recurring theme in the song, emphasizing the importance of enjoying the simple pleasures in life.
As the chorus repeats, the lyrics become even more direct, urging the listener to take action and "do it right" with the person they love. The lines "one life is all we have to live, our love is all we have to give" suggest that time is precious and we should make the most of it by spending it with the people we care about.
