Ten hours and a bad attitude Followed me all the way home Hands still aching from the day I'd had Just wanting to be left alone Pulled that truck into the driveway Saw a little light inside Opened up that front door And damn near forgot about my night Candles burning on the table Hot dinner waiting there She walked around that corner Like she hadn't a single care Half a bottle missing from the red wine Two glasses sitting side by side She never asked me how my day went She could read it in my eyes She took my hand without saying a word Turned those living-room lights down low Put a little Marvin Gaye on Whispered, "Baby, take it slow..." Take your time We got nowhere else to be Leave that hard day at the door And come a little closer to me Let that record turn Let those candles burn Morning's got a long way to go Baby, take your time I'll take mine real slow We started dancing in the kitchen Her bare feet next to mine Her head resting on my shoulder While I forgot all about the time Dinner getting cold behind us That wine still sitting there One hand wrapped around her waist Her perfume everywhere She smiled like she knew something I'd been too tired to see That everything I'd carried home Didn't have to stay with me The needle kept on turning We never made it through that wine And somewhere between that first slow dance I quit thinking about the time Take your time We got nowhere else to be Leave that hard day at the door And come a little closer to me Let that record turn Let those candles burn Morning's got a long way to go Baby, take your time I'll take mine real slow Funny how she knows what I need Before I ever say a word Sometimes love ain't saying "I love you" Sometimes it's making damn sure it's heard A hot meal and a half-drunk bottle A song playing soft and low And that little smile that tells me... Neither one of us is going anywhere For a while Take your time We got nowhere else to be Let tomorrow wait outside that door Tonight it's only you and me Let that record turn Let those candles burn Morning's still a long way to go Baby, take your time I'll take mine real slow Dinner went cold on the table That bottle never did get finished Marvin kept singing in the other room Till that candlelight went dim Ten hours and a bad attitude Had followed me all the way home... She knew just what to do with it
