Who the hell is this stranger, starin' all in my face?" Now you wishin' you hadn't positioned yourself in that place Think just in case, you shoulda took more precaution A good time can become a nightmare so often Like this nigga I know, that met these chicks on tour They rocked him to sleep, robbed his ass for cash galore Skated off in the night, without a trace or a hint Schemin', tantalizin' him, dressed up in lace and shit Caught that kid out there, all high and dumbfounded Made him think he was gettin' some pussy He just knew he was gonna pound it Situations like this, will make you think twice That's why instead of preachin' death in my songs, I breathe life [Chorus: Total] Baby, won't you take the time? (Take the time) Let me know what's on your mind (Your mind) Just because I'm yours, don't make it right (Don't make it right) Baby, won't you take the time? (Bay-bee..) Let me know what's on your mind (I'm waiting..) Slow down, baby, now, let's make it right (On your love...) (I like you...)
