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

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'll make you wanna just cry
Then you die

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
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

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
When he's gotta hold tight
To the heart of the matter at hand

So take your time, baby girl
'Cause that's, that's the best of all
One day you'll believe me, baby
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
