It Just Takes Time

[Xue Xing, spoken]
In Chinese, there are four tones
Each tone changes the meaning of the word

(sung)
The first tone is flat, high-pitched, and floating

[Hillary]
How lovely not to talk about voting

[Xue Xing]

[Xue Xing]
No, that's not really it
The second tone is low, then rising
Her eyes are green and blue, that's surprising
Xing

[Hillary]
Shwing

[Xue Xing, spoken]
That's number one

(sung)

[Hillary]

[Hillary]
Shwing Shwing Shwing Shwing

[Xue Xing]
One one one one
And it's Xu, not Shwa

[Hillary]
Shwa, Shwa, Shwing!
No, that's not really it

[Xue Xing]
It just takes time

[Hillary]
It just takes time?

[Xue Xing]
It feels so new

[Hillary]
It feels so new for the girl from
Chicago, U.S.A
I've never asked my lips
Never asked my lips, never asked my lips
To go that way

[Both]
It just takes time

[Xue Xing]
The third tone starts from a high pitch
Then falls to a low pitch
Then rises to a high pitch again

[Xue Xing, sung]
That's number four!

[Musical interlude]

[Xue Xing, spoken]
Yes!

[Hillary, sung]
I must say
I've never asked my lips to go that way

[Xue Xing, sung]
Just place the tip of your tongue

[Hillary]
It just takes time

[Xue Xing]
Against the back of your lower teeth

[Both]
It just takes takes—

[Hillary, spoken]
Xue Xing

[Xue Xing, spoken]
