Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take your time
So they say and that's probably the best way to be
But what about those who are fathers and
What about their daughters?
I will promise to do my very best
To do my duty for God and my country
Hey, but I'm just human after all
I will promise not to smoke too much and
I will promise not to party
Too hard, too hard, too hard
It's too hard
[Verse 2]
Did you ever bang on a xylophone
That took you everywhere from home?
Well I did
Well I've tried
Life is like a ball of beauty
That makes you wanna just cry
Then you die
[Verse 3]
I will promise to go outta my way
To do the right thing from now on
Believe me, baby
There comes a time in every man's life
When he's gotta take hold of the hand
That ain't his but it is
[Verse 4]
Take your time, so they say, and
That's gotta be the best way
But what about those who are fathers and
What about the others?
I know that you don't know a stranger
But I'm no stranger than the rest
And I'm no stranger to you
[Verse 5]
Take your time, they say it's all around
And I think I'd say I know just where that I am bound
There comes a time in every man's life
Where he's gotta hold tight to the heart of the matter at hand
[Verse 6]
So take your time, baby girl
'Cause that's, that's the best of all
One day you'll believe me, baby
[Verse 7]
I will promise to do my very best
To do my very best for you
And that won't be too hard
Too hard, too hard, too hard
