Love Takes Time

I know how you're feeling
I've been there before
You don't like what you're dealing with
But you keep coming back for more
So filled with frustration
You can't figure it out
It's not infatuation
No, that's not what it's all about
When the truth sneaks up from behind
That's when you realize
Love takes time
'Cause it's so hard to find
You can hide it
Try to deny it
But hey, just keep one thing in mind
You know love takes time
You thought it was easy
No trouble at all
You said you could freeze emotion
In your heart should you fall
You took it for granted
This true love you found
Now you don't understand it
Your whole world is tumbling down
You can blame your youth
For the things you could not see
But it should be no surprise to find that
Love takes time
'Cause it's so hard to find
You can hide it
Try to deny it
But hey, just keep one thing in mind
You know love takes time, yeah
Takes a whole lot of time
When the truth sneaks up from behind
That's when you realize
It'll hit you between the eyes, yeah
'Cause love takes time
'Cause it's so hard to find
You can hide it
Try to deny it
But love takes time
I wanna tell you love takes time
'Cause it's so hard to find, yeah
You can fake it
Ain't gonna make it
Love takes, oh, love takes time, yeah
Takes a whole lot of time
Oh, yeah
