Lyrics
You’ve got your basic moon in the sky,
You’ve got your basic blues in a tenement life
And it’s basic that you can’t get her out of your mind
Hearts take time

No calls anymore, just four walls and a lock on your door
No denying, you’re in hiding, but that’s allright,
Hearts take time

And time goes by, you can make it, if you take it in stride
One day, there’ll be someone to love all again, but ’till then

The clock on the wall keeps on tickin’,
Tomorrow may find you as cool as a kitten
But it’s midnight and it feels like you need a good cry
Hearts take time

Time goes by, you can make it, if you take it in stride
One day, there’ll be someone to love all again, until then,
She’ll be under your skin
‘Cause, hearts take time, no matter how hard you try,
You can’t win ’till the tears dry and love comes again until then

You’ve got your basic moon in the sky,
You’ve got your basic blues in a tenement life
And it’s basic that you can’t get her out of your mind
Hearts take time
Mmmm, hearts take time
Mmmm, don’t you know that: hearts take time
