Takin' My Time

(Bill Payne)



I'm takin' my time so please don't rush me

Tryin' to sort out some things I didn't know existed

I've been here before, I know where the traps lie

You only take what's there 'cause the rest doesn't matter.



Well I'm tired of talk so please don't push me

You know I want the same kinda things that you do

You're wasting your time the way you come to me

Slow down your rhymes and try to reason.



Can't make things move any faster by second wishing them to death

You seem to be living on the level

It's decent enough you got what you wanted

So why do you tell me that I'm on the wrong track

I'm doin' the best I can do.



I try to out guess the situation

That I know your not even fully aware of

And I want you to know if it keeps on this way

Can't keep on letting you bring me down.



Can't keep on letting you bring me down...
