It takes a little time,
tue love - don't come that easy at all.(here it is)

You gotta give time - for love to happen.
It takes a little time - for love to grow.
We've gotta give time - for heaven sake,
just say - you've gotta learn to give and take.

Well I was lookin' for a goodnight kiss,
even on my cheek, if not my lips.
But she thinks that it's to quick,
she say it's not the time, to rush into it.

You gotta give time - for love to happen.
It takes a little time - for love to grow.
We've gotta give time - for heaven sake,
just say - you've gotta learn to give and take.

Well she thinks that I'm to slik,
lookin' well, romantic.
But ther's one thing I must understand,
she's not looking for a one night stand.

You gotta give time - for love to happen.
It takes a little time - for love to grow.
We've gotta give time - for heaven sake,
say we got to learn to give and take.

'Cause every woman wants herself a goodman, (woh)
one to share a whole life long relation. (Her me now)
Every young man wants himself a princess. (mmm)
But it's all about respect, not just what he possessed. (so)

Oh, it's gonna take time - for love to happen.
It takes a little more time - for love to grow.
We've gotta give time - for heaven sake,
say we got to learn to give and take. (mm)

A little time - for love to happen.
It takes a little time - for love to grow.
We've gotta give time - for heaven sake,
I say we got to learn to give and take. (Oh)

(It's gonna take time - just a little more time,
true love - don't come that easy at all)

She thinks that I am great.
The things I've done - she do appreciate
But there's no need breaking down her gate,
although I'm a singer, I'm gonna have to wait.

You gotta give time - for love to happen.
It takes a little time - for love to grow.
You gotta give it time - for heaven sake,
just say - you've gotta learn to give and take.

You gotta give time - for love to happen.
It takes a little time - for love to grow.
We've gotta give time - for heaven sake,
say we've gotta learn to give and take.

Well I was lookin' for a goodnight kiss,
even on my cheek, if not my lips.
But she thinks that it's to quick,
she say it's not the time, to rush into it.

You gotta give time - for love to happen.
It takes a little time - for love to grow.
We've gotta give time - for heaven sake,
just say - you've gotta learn to give and take.
