Lyrics

Bonnie raitt-takin' my time' 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
