It's Going To Take Some Time Carole King, The Carpenters (#12 in 1972)

It's going to 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.
 
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.
 
It's going to take some time this time no matter what I've planned
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.
