Lyrics
Stanza one- Gotta mow the yard & clean the deck, drop the kids, off to school;
but realize that I'm not done, there's laundry, dinner too.
With all of that, yes it's OK to see about my needs.
Take some time to love on me, that's my new decree.
Chorus- Take some to love on me, I see value in myself;
no need to have approval, look in the mirror & do my best.
Charcoal-kissed days will come, billowed winds blow, my mission more & more,
gotta take time, time to love me.
Stanza two- Turned my social media off, got a round in of golf,
saw a great deal, I couldn't loose, went & booked myself a cruise.
It took a while but now I see, have fun just for me;
all work no play will kill you soon, not me, watching the moon.
Chorus- Take some to love on me, I see value in myself;
no need to have approval, look in the mirror & do my best.
Charcoal-kissed days will come, billowed winds blow, my mission more & more,
gotta take time, time to love me.
