It’s Going to Take Some Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
It's gonna 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

[Verse 2]
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?
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

[Verse 3]
It's gonna take some time this time
No matter what I've planned
And 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?
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

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
