"It's Going To Take Some Time"

(As recorded by the Carpenters)
CAROLE KING
TONI STERN

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)
And 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 winter time
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.

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 winter time
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.
