| Where do I begin? |
| He was nine, and I didn’t
|
| I was maybe six or seven
|
| And my mom and me was driving
|
| Listening to music I’d be singing all the time
|
| Just to see my mama smile, my mama smile
|
| She said I got talent, and she took me to auditions
|
| But nobody paid attention
|
| I was too young for rejection
|
| Never too young for a passion
|
| 'Cause music kept me going
|
| And I knew one day I would make my mama say
|
| It takes time, it takes a little time baby
|
| It would be fine, yeah
|
| It takes time, baby
|
| In my memory looked too, boy I really hated school
|
| I was in as same as you
|
| You just wanted to be cool
|
| I remember when my only friend
|
| Left me for a cooler gang
|
| I’ve finally got a taste what it feels like
|
| Being betrayed
|
| I was fifteen when I lost my sister, she was battling cancer
|
| Damn, I really miss her
|
| We moved up North to start over
|
| Little town, and I was a big girl
|
| Then I got myself into trouble,
|
| I was angry with the world,
|
| My mama saying
|
| It takes time, it takes a little time baby
|
| It would be fine, yeah
|
| It takes time, baby
|
| I’ve lost and learned along the way
|
| Yeah, I make mistakes
|
| Yeah, I’ve felt all kinds of pains
|
| And the reason why I’m here to stay
|
| It’s because my mama said
|
| If things to be alright will change
|
| It takes time, it takes a little time baby
|
| It would be fine, yeah
|
| It takes time, baby
|
| It takes time, it takes a little time baby
|
| It would be fine, yeah
|
| It takes time, baby |
