Take Time

Lyrics

[Intro: studio dialogue] I ain't gonna do it too many times, I want you to know that Too many times, I hear you One, two three, four... [Verse 1] Anyone can be phony People believe a lie before they believe the truth (Everyday, everyday...) Everybody's got a game Makes up something they're not [Chorus] Take time, darlin', take time (take time) Oh, take time (take time), hey You need to take time To be real with your personal self, take time [Verse 2] People trying to hide their feelings Lovers misuse each other with petty pride You can beat others in a rage You and self comes in a tie [Chorus] Take time, take time (take time) Oh, oh, take time (take time), child You need to take time, oh, oh... oh Lord [Bridge] Well, darlin' Ain't no harm to be right You'd do better when you're right You'd be surprised how you feel When you become real [Chorus] Take time, take time, take time Oh, hey... Take time (take time), take time Take time (take time), oh, oh! Take your time to feel... [Verse 3] People go to church on Sunday And pest their neighbor all day Monday (And the rest of the week) They might get together one day If there's something... [Chorus] Take time, take time (take time) Oh, woo-hoo (take time) take time Take time (take time) Oh... (take time) you need to take time Oh, oh, ohh... take time (take time) Take your time, oh (take time) You need to take time (take time) Sho' need to take time, take time [Bridge] Take a little time, take a little time Take a little time, take a little time Listen... you and yourself (take a little time) Nobody else (take a little time) Take a little time, take time to be right Get away from the crowd Get away from the crowd Get away from the crowd Take time to be real, listen... [Verse 4] Have you ever wondered about your phony friends? Oh, and it's strange, strange the ways they're doin' you If you buy the wine, they'll come and dine If you buy the dope, they'll come and smoke Just as long as you're driving your fine car Giving everybody a ride, they all call you "sweetie pie" But do you know what? [Outro] You don't need no phonies You don't need those phonies You don't need those phonies, lemme tell ya... You don't need those phonies You don't need those phonies You don't need those phonies, did you hear me say... You don't need those phonies, oh Lord You don't need those phonies You don't need those phonies You don't need those phonies Take time (take time!) Take time (take time!) Oh, take time (take time!) You need to take time...
