Lyrics for Taking My Time

Taking my time Making up my mind Choosin' the girl that's gonna have to love me forever I wanna make sure That she has a heart of gold, yeah And a love to hold me forever, yeah That's why I'm taking it slow 'Cause I wanna know If it's the kind of love that's gonna last me forever Don't wanna waste precious time by playin' the lover's part 'Cause I may wind up with a broken heart No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No, not me (not me) Not me (not me) Not I (not I) oh (not I) not me Do you believe A wise man once told me a long time ago If a woman don't love you, let her go I don't need ya, baby That's why I'm taking it slow 'Cause I wanna know If it's the kind of love that's gonna last me forever Don't wanna waste precious time by playin' the lover's part 'Cause I may wind up with a broken heart No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no No, not me (not me) Not me (not me) Not I (not I) oh (not I) Taking my time Makin' up my mind Choosin', choosin' I said I don't want an untrue lover Choosin'
