[Verse 1]
You're so in love
And that's nice
Just have fun
Living your life
He likes to kiss you
And that's cool
And that's the kind of thing that
Puppy lovers should do

[Pre-Chorus]
But all your friends are saying
It's a matter of time
Before your Prince Charming
Hits you with the famous line
And all your friends are wondering
Just what you're gonna do
They say that if you do it
He'll forever cherish you
But you don't want to do
The things they tell you to
It's not your personality
It's not the way you wanna be
And if he treasures you
Then he won't pressure you
Their faith is more than one thing left to decide

[Chorus]
Take your time (take your time)
It's alright
You love your body
You wanna do right
Take your time
It's your life
Don't let nobody
Tell you that you're not right
Take your time (take your time)
It's alright
You love your body
You wanna do right
Take your time
It's your life
Don't let nobody
Tell you that you're not right

[Verse 2]
Your first time love
Hey, that's cool
It's wonderful when love is innocent and true
Like holding hands
And walking through the park
It's a special kind of love
What puppy lovers are

[Pre-Chorus]
But all your friends are saying
That you're running out of time
They say that if you cherish him
You'll change your frame of mind
And all your friends are telling you
That if your love is true
They say that you should do it
He'll forever cherish you
But you don't want to do
The things they tell you to
It's not your personality
It's not the way you wanna be
And if he treasures you
Then he won't pressure you
Their faith is more than one thing left to decide

[Chorus]
Take your time (take your time)
It's alright
You love your body
You wanna do right
Take your time
It's your life
Don't let nobody
Tell you that you're not right
Take your time (take your time)
It's alright
You love your body
You wanna do right
Take your time
It's your life
Don't let nobody
Tell you that you're not right

Babyface...JAM!

[Guitar solo]

[Pre-Chorus]
But you don't want to do
The things they tell you to
It's not your personality
It's not the way you wanna be
And if he treasures you
Then he won't pressure you
Their faith is more than one thing left to decide

[Chorus]
Take your time (take your time)
It's alright
You love your body
You wanna do right
Take your time
It's your life
Don't let nobody
Tell you that you're not right
Take your time (take your time)
It's alright
You love your body
You wanna do right
Take your time
It's your life
Don't let nobody
Tell you that you're not right

Take your time (take your time)
It's alright
You love your body
You wanna do right
Take your time
It's your life
Don't let nobody
Tell you that you're not right
Take your time (take your time)
It's alright
You love your body
You wanna do right
Take your time
It's your life
Don't let nobody
Tell you that you're not right

Babyface

Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds (born April 10, 1959 in Indianapolis, Indiana) is a Grammy Award-winning producer, singer, and songwriter responsible for a string of hits in the 1980s and 1990s. He has written and produced more than 20 number-one hits and won 11 Grammys—including three for Producer of the Year—for his work with Boyz II Men, Whitney Houston, Eric Clapton, Alicia Keys, and Toni Braxton, as well as his own work as an artist.

Babyface got his nickname from funk legend Bootsy Collins after joining his backing band in the 1970s. He joined the group Manchild in the late ‘70s—a group that also included his frequent collaborator Daryl Simmons—before moving out West and working with the group The Deele in the early 1980s, forming a bond with his bandmate and future production partner L.A. Reid. After producing the hit “Two Occasions” for The Deele, L.A. & Babyface broke off and became one of the biggest superproducer duos in R&B, rivaling the hits of fellow superproducer duo Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis.

L.A. & ‘Face had their hands in a string of #1 R&B hits in the late '80s and early '90s from artists such as Pebbles (“Girlfriend”), Karyn White (“Superwoman”), The Whispers (“Rock Steady”), Johnny Gill (“My, My, My”) and many more. They were also instrumental in the success of post-New Edition era Bobby Brown as they produced his #1 hits “Don’t Be Cruel,” “Every Little Step,” “On Our Own,” and “Humpin' Around.” They made history with Boyz II Men in 1992 as they wrote and produced “End of the Road,” which spent a record-breaking 14 consecutive weeks atop the pop chart.
