I'm gonna take my time this time around
Nobody's gonna turn me upside down
I know the score and lots of times before
I made my move but now I'm sure

You want me for myself not what I've been
It's not the same old song and dance you've seen
That old routine even if I blow my one last chance
Until I hear my music playing I won't dance
I'll just take my time this time around

Cause I know the score, and lots of times before
I've made my move but now I'm sure
You want me for myself not what I'vе been
It's not the same old song and dance you'vе seen
That old routine
Even if it means I blow my one last chance
Until I hear my music playing oh then I'll dance

I gotta take my time
I gotta take my time
I gotta make my time
This time, this time around
