Everything Takes Time

[Verse 1]
Hey, little girl, what are you up to?
Put back that red lipstick, put away that red dress
You might think it’s alright, but no, not tonight
Don’t you know that it’s not time

[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta wait a little longer
Gotta get a little older
Don’t rush the things that’ll change

[Chorus]
'Cause everything takes time
As every song needs a rhyme
And I know, you want it now
But you’ll get there somehow
Just let it all unfold, tomorrow can’t be told
Take it slow and you'll get more in time

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-whoa, whoa
Ooh-oh-whoa, oh

[Verse 2]
Hey, little girl, what are you up to?
Tryna do the things that grown ups do
You know you’re not ready, you’re making a mistake
Patience is a virtue
And things have a rightful place

[Pre-Chorus]
You gotta wait a little longer
Gotta get a little older
Don’t rush the things that’ll change

[Chorus]
'Cause everything takes time
As every song needs a rhyme
And I know, you want it now
But you’ll get there somehow
Just let it all unfold, tomorrow can’t be told
Take it slow and you'll get more in time

[Post-Chorus]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-whoa, whoa
Ooh-oh-whoa, oh

[Bridge]
There are times when it feels like it’s now or never
There are times when it feels like it’s gone forever
But don’t you worry there’s tomorrow
There’s tomorrow

[Chorus]
'Cause everything takes time
As every song needs a rhyme
And I know, you want it now
But you’ll get there somehow
Just let it all unfold, tomorrow can’t be told
Take it slow and you'll get more in time
'Cause everything takes time
As every song needs a rhyme
And I know, you want it now
But you’ll get there somehow
Just let it all unfold, tomorrow can’t be told
Take it slow and you'll get more in time

[Outro]
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-whoa, whoa
Ooh-oh-whoa, oh, yes
