Lyrics If You Had Only Taken the Time - Charley Pride

(Kent Westberry - Merv Shiner)

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 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.

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.

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...
