It takes time... Note-to-self recording from the night I wrote it. Sorry about the messy backing vocals during the bridge Petite. 

Juju tried to help me

Chewed away the best part of my pain

Thrown out of my love life

Tail between my legs, I'm home again

But it takes time

It takes time... yeah!

To love again

Johnny tried to help me

We played a lot of music till the dawn

Offered me a family

Shelter from the coldness on the phone

But it takes time

It takes time... yeah!

To sing again

T I M E

It takes time...

To sing again

All the times I blamed myself

My friends would pick me up and make me smile

Give me strength to make the move

Want to live again and change my style

But it takes time

It takes time... yeah!

To live again

Mama tried to help me

Gave me all the love I'd missed for years

Yaya didn't help me

Told me that my absense filled their tears

So it takes time

It takes time... yeah!

To live again

T I M E

It takes time... yeah!

To live again
