Shocking Blue - Take Your Time Lyrics

(Robbie van Leeuwen/Sieb Warner)

People work so hard that they get heart attacks,
The speed of life is much too high.
I just a wonder, babe
Why they can't slow down?

Take your time,
Take your time,
Hey you.

The man next door, he always drove too fast,
He wouldn't listen to my words.
Now it's too late for my advice,
'Cause he's lying under the ground.

Take your time,
Take your time,
Hey you.

A friend of mine, he fell in love one day,
The poor fool didn't take his time.
Now he's in matrimonial state,
Has screaming children all around.

Take your time,
Take your time,
Hey you.
