| 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.
