It Just Takes Time

In Chinese, there are four tones

Each tone changes the meaning of the word

(sung)

The first tone is flat, high-pitched, and floating

How lovely not to talk about voting

Xing

Sing

Xing

Sing

Xing

Sing

Xing

Sing

Xing

Sing

No, that's not really it

The second tone is low, then rising

Her eyes are green and blue, that's surprising

Xing

Shwing

That's number one

(sung)

Xing

Shwing

That's number one again

Shwing

Yes!

Shwing

One again

Shwing Shwing Shwing Shwing

One one one one

And it's Xu, not Shwa

Shwa, Shwa, Shwing!

No, that's not really it

It just takes time

It just takes time?

It feels so new

It feels so new for the girl from

Chicago, U.S.A

I've never asked my lips

Never asked my lips, never asked my lips

To go that way

It just takes time

The third tone starts from a high pitch

Then falls to a low pitch

Then rises to a high pitch again

Xing

Xing

Number two

Xing

Yes!

Xing

Number t—

Hey! I made law review

I know that was number two

Xing

Xing

Xing

Xing

Yes!

Xing

No

Xing

Oh, son of a whore!

Mrs. Clinton!

I'm sorry, how vulgar!

Say it again

Son of a whore!

Just the last word

Whore!

Again

Whore!

Again!

Whore!

That's number four!

Yes!

I must say

I've never asked my lips to go that way

Just place the tip of your tongue

It just takes time

Against the back of your lower teeth

It just takes takes—

Xue Xing

Perfect
