If you'd have 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 sure this time that I'm gonna leave you
So next time don't wait don't hesitate appreciate the 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 that's why I say
If you'd have only taken the time...
But I made up my mind...
But I made up my mind... [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/c/charley_pride/if_youd_have_only_taken_the_time.html ]
