Lyrics
You'd Better Take 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.
It looks like you're so busy climbing the ladder of fame
Making yourself a big name in this world
I guess that's all that matters you're so wrapped up in yourself
That you'd better take time for other girls not even your girl
But you'd better take time take time for your baby
Before somebody takes the time to take her from your hand
You'd better take time take time for your baby
Before somebody takes the time and leave you a lonely man
[ trumpet ]
You left her get lonely you're so blinded by success
But you don't let her the loneliness bother you
But she needs love from someone si if you're never there
Well she might just learn to care for someone new
So you'd better take time take time for your baby...
