Takes a Little Time

It takes a little time sometimes

To get your feet back on the ground

It takes a little time sometimes

To get the Titanic turned back around

It takes a little time sometimes

But baby, you're not going down

It takes more than you've got right now

Give it, give it time

What's this walking through my door?

I know I've seen that look before

Sometimes on faces in the street

And sometimes in the mirror looking back at me

You can't fix this pain with money

You can't rush a weary soul

You can't sweep it under the rug now, honey

It don't take a lot to know

It takes a little time sometimes

To get your feet back on the ground

It takes a little time sometimes

To get the Titanic turned back around

It takes a little time sometimes

But baby, you're not going down

It takes more than you've got right now

Give it, give it time

Yeah, give it time

Well it may not be over by morning

But Rome wasn't built in a day

You can name that thing a thousand times

And it won't make it go away

Let me put my arms around you

And hold you while you weep

We've been talking and you know what?

I'm sick of this talk

And it's nothing that won't keep

It takes a little time sometimes

To get your feet back on the ground

It takes a little time sometimes

To turn the Titanic around

It takes a little time sometimes

But baby, you're not going down

It takes more than you've got right now

Give it, give it time

It takes a little more time, more time

(Turn the Titanic around) Turn it around, around, around

(Baby, you're not going down) Takes a little time sometimes

You can't fix this pain with money

You can't rush a weary soul

You can't sweep it under the rug now, honey

But it don't take a lot to know

It takes a little time sometimes

To get your feet back on the ground

It takes a little time sometimes

To turn the Titanic around

It takes a little time sometimes

But baby, you're not going down

You got things to think of now

So, give it, give it time

Give it, give it time

It takes a little time sometimes, yeah

It takes a little time sometimes

It takes a little time to get your feet back on the ground

Baby, you're not going down
