Stop And Take The Time
[Intro]
Stop, take the time
To love each other
Stop, take the time
To show you care...
Or you'll lose her
Or you'll lose her

[Verse 1]
Why don't you stop and take time
Out of your busy day
Lend me your heart, girl
And show me the way
A love is not easy to find
Especially when you're lonely
So give me a piece of your mind
Let me know, that you care

[Pre-Chorus]
Love is on the way
And love is here to always stay, yeah
I don't wanna be without you, baby
No, no no no no
All I want to do, is treat you right

[Chorus]
You better treat her right
If you want her (because I want your loving)
You better treat her right, yeah
You better treat her right (treat you right)
If you want her ('cause I want your love, yeah)
You better treat her right, yeah (yeah, yeah, yeah)
[Pre-Chorus]
Love is on the way (love is on the way)
And love is here to always stay, yeah yeah
Oh baby, I, I don't wanna be without you, baby
No no, no no
All I want you to do, is stay by my side, yeah

[Chorus]
(Stop, take the time) Girl, you better stop
(To love each other) To love, to love one another, baby
(Stop, take the time) Take the time
(To show you care...) Show you care, show you care
(Or you'll lose her) I don't wanna lose your love
(Or you'll lose her) Listen:

[Verse 2]
I'm ready to stop and take time
To let you know I care
I'm coming right over now
Won't you please wait for me there?
My arms will be open for you
Do you see my point of view?
Yes, we'll be lovers and friends
Do the things we used to do

[Pre-Chorus]
Love is on the way (love is on the way)
And love is here to always stay
(And love is here to stay, yeah yeah yeah)
Yes, we'll be lovers and friends, baby, yeah
I don't wanna lose your love
Don't wanna lose your love, no no
Stay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay-ay...
Stay by my side, yeah
[Outro]
(Stop, take the time) Take the time
(To love each other) Love, love, love each other
(Stop, take the time) Show you care
(To show you care) Show you care for me, girl
(Stop, take the time) You better
(To love each other) Love, love, love, love, love, love
(Stop, take the time) Yea-yeah
(To show you care) Yea-yea-yea-yea-yea-yea-yeah

(Stop, take the time) And I'll do the same, baby
(To show you care) Whoa, stay by my side, yeah
