I’m Takin’ My Time
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
So, you want to come home
You want a chance to do right
But your will to do wrong always wins
You’ll come back again
Like a thief to a crime
If I’m takin’ you back
I’m takin’ my time
Since, you’ve been away
I’ve had a lot on my mind
But nothing to say about love
I’m calling your bluff and
Now your ringing my line
If I’m takin’ you back
I’m takin’ my time
Every time you leave you say you’ll come back home
But this time you’ve been too long gone
Well I’m takin’ my time gettin’ back into
All the trouble that begins and ends with you
Now, you’re comin’ on strong
With all the moves that I love
You think it won’t take me long to give in
But honey I’ve been
Playin’ this scene in my mind
If I’m takin’ you back
I’m takin’ my time
Now you’re comin’ on strong
With all the moves that I love
You think it won’t take me long to give in
But honey I’ve been
Playin’ this scene in my mind
If I’m takin’ you back
I’m takin’ my time
I can see leavin’ in your eyes
So as long as you’re breakin’ my heart
I’m takin’ my time
I’m takin’ my time
I’m takin’ my time
