lyrics

Take Your Time

You nearly ran away with me – when our hearts were wild
But my dear cousin broke it, she was carrying your child
She put a hold on you, made sure I knew
Just as I feared, you took your time

You were fascinated by her age of innocence
Manipulated while contemplating your existence
Who used who? The boy’s not mine
What’s he doin’ up here while you take your time?
Well, take your time

You can take the elevator, you can take the stairs
Twenty-six years later, let’s consummate this love affair
I can see you down there, takin’ your time
I’m the one you wanted, your dreams are haunted by my radiance
Maybe you got rattled, didn’t want to be saddled with high maintenance
Like I needed your care – like you needed mine
I can see you down there, takin’ your time
Well, take your time

Well, I’m no Winona Ryder, but I can be Michelle Pfeiffer in my window
Daniel Day, you loved me, let’s let our love rekindle
I’m up here now, and I’m in my prime
You’re still down there, takin’ your time

Well, take your time-You might love me in your mind, and still you find you take your time
You take your time

about

John D. Lamb Detroit, Michigan

Lamb spins a tale of love and woe full of true irony and forlorn humor…Lamb has given us a slice of life in which we find common ground, but is anything but commonplace…
