(Love takes time) If we could turn back time
(Love takes time) Oh, if we could go back to the beginning
(Love takes time) If we could rewind the clock
(Love takes time) We could have timed it down to the minute

We had some words today
That blew the clouds away
They were long overdue
And now the air is clear
About the whole affair
Apologies from me to you

Time love and love takes time
If you deny love you'll lose your mind
Just relax then you'll get it
'Cause your heart knows what's in it
And what goes around comes around
And don't you forget it

(Love takes time) If we could turn back time, yeah
(Love takes time) If we could go back to the beginning
(Love takes time) Love is all compromise
(Love takes time) But with some patience you'll find you're winning

It strikes like lightning
And changes everything
Your whole point of view
Opens all kind of doors
So now my heart is yours
With compliments from me to you
Time love and love takes time
If you deny love you'll lose your mind
Just relax then you'll get it
'Cause your heart knows what's in it
And what goes around comes around
And don't you forget it

You can't rush it
It takes tender, loving care
If you're gonna make it there
Through the ups and downs
You'll get turned around, oh
But I'll hang in there with you, oh

Time love and love takes time
If you deny love you'll lose your mind
Just relax then you'll get it
'Cause your heart knows what's in it
And what goes around comes around
And don't you forget it, babe

(Love takes time and it's worth learning) Yeah
(Love takes time to grow, my darling)
If we can rewind the clocks
(Love takes time and it's worth learning)
(Love takes time to grow, my darling)
They would have turned right around to love
