Song Lyrics

It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To get the Titanic turned back around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby, you're not goin' down
It takes more than you got right now
Give it, give it time

What's this walkin' through my door?
I know I've seen the look before
Sometimes in faces on the street
Sometimes in the mirror looking back at me
You can't fix this pain with money
You can't rush a weary soul
You can't sweep it under the rug, now honey
It don't take a lot to know

It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To get the Titanic turned back around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby, you're not goin' down
It takes more than you got right now
Give it, give it time

Yeah, give it time

Well, it may not be over by morning
Rome wasn't built in a day
You can name that thing a thousand times
And it won't make it go away
Let me put my arms around you
And hold you while you weep
We've been talkin'
And you know what, I'm sick of this talk
And it's nothin' that won't keep

It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To turn the Titanic around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby, you're not going down
It takes more than you got right now
Give it, give it time

It takes a little more time, more time
(Turn the Titanic around) turn it around, around, around
(Baby, you're not goin' down) takes a little time sometimes

You can't fix this pain with money
You can't rush a weary soul
You can't sweep it under the rug now, honey
It don't take a lot to know (know)

It takes a little time sometimes
To get your feet back on the ground
It takes a little time sometimes
To turn the Titanic around
It takes a little time sometimes
But baby, you're not goin' down
You got things to think of now
So give it, give it time

Give it, give it time
It takes a little time sometimes, yeah
It takes a little time sometimes
It takes a little time
To get your feet back on the ground
Baby, you're not goin' down
