Lyrics If You Had Taken the Time - Johnny Paycheck

If You Had Taken the Time

If you had only taken the time
To tell me you’re mine
And say that you love me
I may not have been
Too eager then
To tell you goodbye
But I made up my mind
For good this time
And I’m gonna leave you
So next time don’t wait
Don’t hesitate
Appreciate a good man
I don’t belong
So I’ll just move along
It’s better this way
A man should walk tall
But you made me feel small
And the reason I say
If you had only taken the time
To tell me you’re mine
And say that you love me
I may not have been
Too eager then
To tell you goodbye
But I made up my mind
For good this time
And I’m gonna leave you
So next time don’t wait
Don’t hesitate
Appreciate a good man
If you had only taken the time
To tell me you’re mine
And say that you care
