It Don't Take but a Few Minutes
When I see those big brown eyes
is when I take my queue
It don't take me but a few minutes
to get a message through
I talked to you, and you talked to me
and we talked to one another
It don't take us but a few minutes
to understand each other

If I was twenty-three years old
and you were twenty-two
I bet no one would try to run our lives the way they do
We take a chance and try romance
be true to one another
It don't take us but a few minutes
when we want each other

If I was in San Diego
and you were in Portland Maine
I'd fly to you lock, stock and bone
in hail and pouring rain
Over the mountains
through the valleys
coming home to each other
It don't take us but a few minutes
to get to one another

You would write a love song
and play on my guitar
And if you should, in Hollywood
become a movie star
Would you let your heart forget
I loved you and you only
It don't take but a few minutes
when you're feeling lonely

When I saw those big brown eyes
is when I took my queue
It didn't take me but a few minutes
to get a message through
I talked to her, and she talked to me
and we talked to one another
It don't take us but a few minutes
to understand each other
