Lyrics for It's Going To Take Some Time

It's going to take some time this time To get myself in shape I really fell out of line this time I really missed the gate The birds on the telephone line (next time) Are cryin' out to me (next time) And I won't be so blind next time And I'll find some harmony But it's going to take some time this time And I can't make demands But like the young trees in the wintertime I'll learn how to bend After all the tears we've spent How could we make amends? (ooh-ooh-ooh) So it's one more round for experience And I'm on the road again And it's going to take some time this time And I can't make demands I'll learn how to bend It's going to take some time this time No matter what I've planned But like the young trees in the wintertime I'll learn how to bend After all the tears we've spent How could we make amends? (ooh-ooh-ooh) So it's one more round for experience And I'm on the road again And it's going to take some time this time
