I'm taking my time, girl
Freedom of the soul
Is the wisdom of the mind
Breaking the vine
Keep your self-control
At the go-ahead sign, my love
Whoa, my love, oh-oh-oh...

You know it's just a matter of time
You and me, feeling the way that we do
Don't make it easier
I want to make love to you
Go on and please yourself
But remember there's something to lose
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah
Yes, my love

Open your eyes, girl
Look inside your heart
Do you care enough to see
I'm on your side
I could be your man
If you wanted me to be, my love
Oh, my love, whoa-whoa-oh...

You know it's just a matter of time
You and me, feeling the way that we do
Don't make it easier
I want to make love to you
Go on and please yourself
But remember there's something to lose
Whoa-oh-oh-oh, yeah

(Why don't you take a little time)
(Take a little time, take a little)
Yes, my love
(Take a little time)
(Take a little time, take a little)
Whoa-oh-oh...
(Take a little time, take a little time)
Yeah, mm-hmm...

(I'm taking my time, girl)
Oh, take a little time, take a little, girl
Inside yourself, do you care enough to see
My love, oh, my love, oh, my love

I know it's just a matter of time
You and me, feeling the way that we do
Don't make it easier
I want to make love to you
Go on and please yourself
But remember there's something to lose
Whoa-oh...
