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 going down
It takes more than you've got right now
Give it, give it time

What's this walking 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 going down
It takes more than you've got right now
Give it, give it time
Yeah, give it time

Now it may not be over by morning
Rome wasn't built in a day
You can name that thing a thousand times
But it won't make it go away

Let me put my arms around you
And hold you while you weep
We've been talking and you know what and I'm sick of this talk
And it's nothing 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've got right now
Give it, give it time

Take a little more time, more time
(Turn the Titanic around)
Around, around, around
(Baby, you're not going down)
Seasonal talk, 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

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
Baby, you're not going down
You've got to think something on now
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 going down
