A guy what takes his time

Anyone can see what's the matter with me

I've been hurried and rushed off my feet

Never had a minute's repose from walking the street

So I've thought it out and there isn't any doubt

My conclusion is all for the best

I need someone who can supply comfort and some rest

A guy what takes his time, I'll go for any time

I'm a fast movin' gal who likes them slow

Got no use for fancy drivin', want to see a guy arrivin' in low.

I'd be satisfied, electrified to know a guy what takes his time

A hurry-up affair, I always give the air

Wouldn't give any rushin' gent a smile.

I would go for any singer who would condescend to linger awhile

What a lullaby would be supplied to have a guy what takes his time

A guy what takes his time, I'd go for any time

A hasty job really spoils a master's touch

I don't like a big commotion, I'm a demon for slow motion or such

Why should I deny that I would die to know a guy who takes his time

There isn't any fun in getting something done

If you're rushed when you have to make the grade

I can spot an amateur, appreciate a connoisseur in his trade

Who would qualify, no alibi, to be the guy who takes his time
